Interior Secretary Hodel’s Plan to Dismantle O’Shaughnessy Dam
The Times rhapsodizing in its editorial “A Dream to Savor” (Oct. 15) about the proposed draining of the Hetch Hetchy reservoir was incongruous, considering that with such lofty phrases it was threatening a portion of San Francisco’s water supply. One wonders what reaction The Times would have to a savvy Bay Area paper countering with a proposal to similarly shake up Owens Valley as a water source for Southern California. Somehow I can’t see it being quite so sanguine on that subject.
