poses next to a bust of her grandfather and holds a souvenir glass bottle,
filled with water that rushed through the aqueduct when it was opened by her
grandfather in 1913, at her home in the Chatsworth area of Los Angeles, Friday,
Dec. 1, 2006. Over the years, water diverted from the Owens Valley east of the
Sierra Nevada has fed the growth of Los Angeles from a desert pueblo to one of
the world's biggest cities. (AP Photo/Reed Saxon)
