A controversial and sometimes shady right of way project may be single-handedly responsible for the City of Los Angeles as we know it, and all that it represents. The Los Angeles Aqueduct, the brain child of William Mulholland and Fred Eaton, miraculously transformed a sleepy oil town into a world famous metropolis. Armchair Engineer Adam Ratliff (TikTok: @armchairengineer) joins Infrastructure Junkies to explain the genesis of this project, all that it entails and how it was accomplished, the disastrous effects on the Owens River Valley, and the tragedy of a dam failure which claimed the lives of over 400 people. One thing is certain: if there is no aqueduct, there is no modern day Los Angeles.
