Reber to lecture on vast water project for Shafter area
John Reber will present his so called Greatest Project Ever Conceived at Veterans Memorial Hall Monday night. The talk, sponsored by the Shafter 30 Club, outlines an ambitious plan to impound fresh water from mountain streams and from the bay area using dams and a ship channel linking Alameda and San Francisco counties. The project envisions two large freshwater lakes, industrial zones, a naval base, and a toll free dam crossing the bay, with an estimated cost of 240 million dollars and vast real estate creation in the San Joaquin Valley region.
