Mr. Clover Goes to Washington: Land, Water, and Fraud in the Mono Basin, 1910-1945

Abstract

The water woes of the Mono Basin of the Eastern Sierra region of California did not begin when Los Angeles\u27 Department of Water and Power began to purchase water rights there in the early twentieth century. Robert Marks argues persuasively that James B. Clover\u27s water schemes predated, and in a sense, opened the way for Los Angeles later to tap Sierran snowmelt and funnel it down to Southern California
