“H2O CA“ focuses on California’s water resources and, more particularly, on paradoxes that have emerged and conflicts that have developed between natural systems and the diverse human interests that have reshaped them. The issue is organized roughly from north to south, beginning with the Sacramento/ San Joaquin Delta and ending at the Salton Sea. Because the topic is clearly too vast for our pages, we have included a bibliography and “webiography” to guide you to further resources. “H2O CA” is the 4th quarter 2001 issue of arcCA (Architecture California), which was, from 2000 to 2012, the quarterly print journal of the AIA California Council.
