Droughts in 1949 New York and 1947 48 California test two iconic systems. New York relies on Croton water and a near 100 mile aqueduct from Schoharie and Esopus, with 1956 plans to add upper Delaware storage. Los Angeles depends on Owens River water channeled via a 238 mile aqueduct, and the Parker Dam powerfully expanding its reserve for 12 neighboring cities.
