DESCRIPTION:To become the major metropolis it is today\, Los Angeles period
 ically engaged in less than reputable means to secure the water it despera
 tely needed -- particularly for a city built on a semi-arid coastal plain\
 , surrounded by desert on three sides and an ocean on the fourth.\n\nFrom 
 the freshwater battle to obtain drinking water and irrigation to the saltw
 ater battle regarding the Port of Los Angeles and control over its lucrati
 ve trade potential\, the city’s history is fraught with “water wars.
 ”\n\nWhat lessons can we learn from a time\, more than 100 years ago\, w
 hen L.A.’s water was an even more hotly contested commodity than it is t
 oday and access to it was associated with class and privilege\, as depicte
 d in the iconic film Chinatown?\n\nJoin this live discussion\, moderated b
