I added a couple additions to what might be interesting to me to add to the article (can be seen here bolded and in italics) Overall the information given in the sandbox space looks good and seems well researched and unbiased.

Taming the River
The federal Flood Control Act of 1936 (FCA) allowed for the engineers of U.S. Army to cement and pave a path for the LA river. Five million barrels of cement were poured into the path of the LA river causing a once spontaneous free flowing river to be contained within a singular path. This construction often caused the river to simply be identified as a storm drain for run-off. some more information here about the environmental effects that this had if appropriate?

In 1983, tensions were at an all time high between Los Angeles county and the citizens of Owens Valley - is it possible here to talk about the socioeconomic differences between these two groups - to make it a little more clear why the tensions were high and why these two groups were fighting?. During this time, the ground water and runoff from Owens Valley comprised eight and sixty-five percent, respectively, of Los Angeles' water supply. The large consumption of water from Owens Valley led to damaging drying of the valley's ecosystem. The residents of Owens Valley tried to uprise against L.A. county, but to no avail.
