Description: This treatise argues that the American West serves as a testament to a dependence upon water as the "shaping force" of a region's history and development. It defines the West as a "modern hydraulic society" dependent on man-made systems of irrigation such as dams, irrigation ditches and canals.
Synopsis: Donald Worster examines the development history of the American West, identifying the elite of technology and wealth who have controlled its most essential resource: water.
