• W2551125263 abstract "The forces that created and maintain contemporary California’s complex waterscape have exploited the Sierra Nevada for 145 years. Since the Gold Rush era, the development, manipulation, and use of its water resources has significantly modified the Sierra Nevada landscape, incalculably impacting the region’s ecosystem. Focusing on selected episodes featuring the impoundment and conveyance of water and its various uses, this paper, emphasizing the historical evolution of water use priorities, seeks answers to the question: How have past public policies involving water resources—or their absence—impacted the Sierra Nevada ecosystem? Special attention is given to the scale and scope of landscape transformation in the last half of the 19th century, when technology and capital were largely unconstrained by public policies. PROLOGUE The constant quest for water—to use, control, and manipulate—has left deep imprints on California’s history and environment. Californians have historically confronted water scarcity problems with strategies designed to augment existing supplies. Among the institutions that evolved to manage this scarce resource is a system of water rights peculiar to California (largely because it contains conflicting elements from so many traditional approaches to water rights), along with a commitment to construct large-scale storage and conveyance facilities—an attempt to physically conquer a physical problem. That problem being: plenty of water but not in the right places and the right times. Since the Gold Rush era, the forces that created California’s complex waterscape looked to exploit the resources of the Sierra Nevada, America’s longest unbroken mountain range. For 145 years, the development, manipulation, and use of its water resources has significantly modified the Sierra Nevada landscape, thereby impacting the region’s ecosystem. Providing prototypes for innovative hydraulic technologies, water law, water quality, and river preservation, the Sierra is where several seminal water management issues were played out, including the first conservation versus preservation battle in United States history: John Muir’s vigorous attempt to prevent a dam in the Hetch Hetchy Valley of the Tuolumne River early in this century. Ever since, major Sierran rivers and lakes have commonly known controversy. The melodramatic struggle in the 1970s to “save” the Stanislaus from the New Melones Dam, for example, was America’s most publicized river conservation dispute of its time. More recently, Mono Lake, at the dry eastern base of the Sierra, has symbolized the conflicts over the allocation and use of water." @default.
