To the Editor:
While the break of a water-main gets news coverage, Southern California's ongoing waste of water during a drought is treated as normal. Vast amounts of water are pumped from the Sacramento river to be lost to evaporation in open canals before ever getting to Southern California. The current system of hundreds of miles of open ditches would have been an engineering marvel in the age of Conan; in the age of Arnold, it's an outrage.
