Because of WP:1R, I have included the San Jacinto tunnel in this article instead of its own page. It's quite long but it provides lots of important information about the effects of the building of the CRA, and the formation of the EMWD. Lvi56 ( talk) 03:00, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
This article about the Colorado River Aqueduct is not thoroughly referenced and shows a disregard for the controversies surrounding water rights of the communities the water is diverted away from. There is not a single citation in the first paragraph, though it gives numerous introductory facts about the topic. Continuously throughout the article, a source is only cited at the end of the paragraph. I am assuming this suggests that all facts before the last sentence are from that source, but that is not good practice and can easily lead to confusion when another editor wants to add additional information.
The sources for this article seem reliable, but even some of the sited sources discuss the implications that moving this water to serve the LA area have had on other communities. One of the articles sited is “Conflict and Cooperation within an Organization: A Case Study of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California”, yet this wiki article doesn’t mention controversies of any kind. Zetland’s article discusses conflicts throughout the 100 years this project has been negotiated. Even recently, CNN documented conflict that arose from the recent drought that brought farmers outside of LA to attempt to compromise on the water being drained from their communities to no avail. Furthermore, this article discusses the project as a feat of science but ignores the impact on communities outside the LA area. Amberzeise ( talk) 06:36, 2 February 2017 (UTC)Amber
