It explores the triumph and disaster, heroism and intrigue, and the rivalries and bedfellows that dominate this littleknown chapter of American history.The final episode is drawn from Sandra Postels book, Last Oasis, 1992 which examines the global impact of the technologies and policies that came out of Americas manipulation of water, demonstrating how they have created the need for conservation methods that will protect Earths water for the next century. ........
