Keeping Los Angeles hydrated

Discovery

Available for over a year

How Los Angeles gets its water supply, despite being in a near-desert region. Beverley Hills is a symbol of southern Californian luxury, made possible only by water. That the city appears well-hydrated is an illusion; it is a near-desert region. The programme looks at how the city's growth depends on its ability to find water elsewhere.
