Los Angeles' Forgotten River

"This is Los Angeles' other river — its grander, cleaner and more useful river. It meanders in the public relations shadow of the region's signature waterway, the Los Angeles River, a paved darling of conservationists and environmentalists... The San Gabriel is the river that Los Angeles tamed, plundered and forgot. In terms of stature — and overall health — it's a victim of its own quiet utility as one of the hardest-working urban rivers anywhere, a portrait of the West's brute harnessing of precious H2O."
