A WPA Textbook
San Diego Water
Publication: San Diego, CA: City Schoold Curriculum Project, Works Progress Administration, 1941. First Edition.
Notes: A WPA-sponsored school textbook about water in San Diego, from rain, to rivers, to reservoirs, to the water distribution system for the city. The book is a pretty thorough high-school level work discussing the nitty gritty of the clean water supply, even going into detail about improvement project bond measures and why voters rejected them (p. 44). [In short, the voters were mistaken.]
This is a supplement to the more general work, Our Use of Water.
Charmingly illustrated; 90 leaves, printed on one side only, mimeographed (or similar). Brad-bound, with tape over the spine. WPA O.P. 165-1-07-23.
OCLC: 20721134 (UC San Diego).
