Anyone remember the 1974 Jack Nicholson & Faye Dunaway Movie, "Chinatown"?
It was a movie about Politicians and Big Businessman in California causing a drought in the fertile lands of California's agricultural valleys. The purpose of diverting water away from the lands was to make them worthless, and buy them on the cheap, only to then restore the water supply once Big Business bought the land for a song. Bribes, murder, and financial ruin was all in a days work for their goals to be met.
Oh yeah... and it was a TRUE Story from the early 20th century.
