Description:
On Wednesday August 2nd, 1769 Father Juan Crespi accompanying the first European land expedition through California came upon the Los Angeles River. The river was the sole source of water for the city's 105,000 residence in 1905. The Los Angeles River was unpredictable and unstable, changing its path by many miles in any given year. Once William Mulholland diverted the Owens River to the city of Los Angeles the river was been left to rot as symbol of urban decay.nEnvironmental writer J.J. Price
