I'm finishing up reading Cadillac Desert, a book describing the history of dam building and irrigation project in the US. It goes deep into all aspects of irrigation projects from environmental to economic to political.

Very cool to hear that this dam is getting torn down just 30 years after the book was published.

That book’s a classic for a reason! It’s a fascinating read, whether you’re a water nerd like I am or not - very accessible. I tell people to check it out if they enjoyed Chinatown, since the historical episode it drew inspiration from is so much wilder

Great book. If you like fiction, also check out The Monkey Wrench Gang.

Seconding that recommendation!
