CARIIS if you haven't read Cadillac Desert I definitely recommend it. The story of the BLM and ACE dam-building era is fascinating. You will learn a lot about dam construction. Also, the LA Owens Valley water grab.
And that municipal far-reaching grab is alive and well in Texas especially during/ since the drought. Where I take issue with it when city policy allows that it is still okay to water your grass 2-3 days a week but grabbing for more.
Conservation first, please.

DB has another recommendation that I haven't read: Deadbeat Dams. Awesome. Ordering...
Another article said it would take only 7 hours to flood Yuba City and Marysville, only 30 miles away.
Mass chaos of Oroville evacuation prompts worry over exit strategy

But Jon Clark, executive director of the Butte County Association of Governments, said the incident highlights a bad situation on Highway 70, the main state route in the valley below the dam. Much of the Highway 70 corridor has been expanded over decades into a modern highway. But the 21-mile section between Oroville and Marysville remains an undersized and dangerous two-lane road. On Sunday night, it got jammed.
Butte County is the biggest county in the state not served by a (continuous) four-lane highway, and that is ridiculous, Clark said. He plans to travel to Washington, D.C. in March to make a pitch for $320 million in funds to widen 70.
We need this road fixed, he said. That spillway came close to failing. It would have been a real disaster for people stuck on that highway if it had flooded.
