The best account of story behind the flooding of Hecht Hetchy is in Gray Brechin's "Imperial San Franciso." Why doesn't someone write a book like this about Seattle?

Isn't Seattle's water from the Cedar River Watershed? Couldn't we be given even cooler sounding "Cedar River" aqua

I have a relative who lives in SF and I have to say, their tap water is unfuckingbelievably good. I've never tasted better water. In addition, it kinda makes sense to kill the bottled water craze in this country in particular - we have clean water sources and tap water is often far cleaner and better-regulated than a number of bottled waters (many brands often use tap water, anyways). We don't exactly have cholera epidemics here and frankly, the environment doesn't need more plastic bottles being produced anyways.

Well, given what happened in Vancouver this past winter, not so sure people are going to be gung-ho about dropping bottled water..

Yeah SF's water is great till the next earthquake. The reason the Crystal Springs resevoir looks like a long finger is because it basically runs along the fault line.

Trying to prevent the Hetch Hetchy dam was one of the Sierra Clubs first failures.

I say blow the mother with tnt, let them drink the water when it is in the delta at Stockton.
