Not much economic development occured in the Owens Valley after the lake died and yes the
story is complicated but the fact is the lake
bed is dry and the pollution was created by
LA Water. They spent huge sums of money fighting
the cleanup. Now they have to clean it up. I am
very familiar with Mulholland and his sad life.
He was a major part of two disasters. The ruin
of owens lake and the collapse of a dam because
his ego got in the way of good advice. The dam
should never have been built where it was. No
doubt lots of people and economic development
occured due to the water but in the LA area not
Owens Valley. It was and is a facinating situation.
