There is so much at stake when it comes to water rights. Due to the very controversial nature of the issue (and other resource scarcity issues as well) I think that urban planners everywhere NEED to investigate alternative avenues for securing resources. In the case of water, I think a viable option for Mammoth Lakes AND Los Angeles may be the construction of desalination plants. What other alternatives can you think of to secure necessary natural resources aside from war?

But water that useable is not in excess amount(less than 3%) that you said. But time can be changed and there may be war between the two Nations for the ownership of water. The world is now seeing this situation. By filing the lawsuit against the MLWD, California shows the inhuman behavior to general people of MLWD although Los Angeles water czar, William Mulholland, did some unique thing to secure the Water right. This has just damned the future project just taken by MLWD. But the most important thing is that this situation now comes to a static position. After all, the natural right of general people of Mammoth community to this creek should not be spoiled. And I think L.A. Department of Water and Power should do the entire necessary thing for the welfare of the people.
