Title	Facts concerning the Owens Valley reparations claims
Creator	Los Angeles (Calif.). Department of Water and Power
Date Range	1920-1929
Description	20-page pamphlet from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for the information of the people of California, explaining the reparations claims made against the City of Los Angeles by the people of Bishop and Big Pine in the Owens Valley.
Note	To meet the need for water of its growing population, the City of Los Angeles began acquiring water rights in the Owens Valley in 1905. The Los Angeles Aqueduct was completed in 1913 to bring Owens Valley water to the city. During the 1920s, the City of Los Angeles began additional large-scale purchases of land in the Owens Valley to increase its supply of water from the valley, resulting in the city's almost complete control of the valley's agricultural land. This led to a decline in the valley's agricultural infrastructure and economy.
