some of the many folks that allowed access to their libraries and, or,
shared information, time and labor to help Anders compile the above timelines.
The 2001 Klamath Project water shutoff created an interest in Anders to present information on the entire Klamath River Watershed history and the water movements of the Southwest that started in the 1900’s. Events do not happen by themselves, they are part of a flow of sequences, one leading to another because of various reasons – multiple causation.
1850 – 1889 … A growing need for irrigation and power
1900 – 1949 … Reclamation & Realization
1950 – 1999 … Big projects & legislation
2000 – present … Times they are a changing
