You know how we're always talking about how one day there will be a WWIII over water? Well, it has already happened on a small scale. Las Angeles and Owens Valley are having legal battles over the water supply available to them, which is vital because the area is plagued by dust storms. 99 years ago, LA made an aqueduct that drained the lake in Owens Valley, which has created a dry bed which is creating the dust. Legislation has demanded that LA help to plant vegetation in the dry bed to prevent erosion from wind and the resulting air pollution. However, Owens claimed the air is still bad while LA claims the pollution comes from other surrounding dunes. This fight is still occuring with no hope yet of a resolution.
