I don't know about Canada and water, all I know is <a href=http://web.ladwp.com/~wsoweb/Aqueduct/historyoflaa/newsupply.htm>Mulholland<a/> is responsible to bringing Water to Southern california through the LA Aqueducts, a marvel in design, and without it we would not have this glorious place. ;)

'From the time that Los Angeles was first founded in 1769, the small settlement had depended upon its own river for water. The 11 families that settled in the area dammed up the Los Angeles River and built canals to irrigate fields. But as the city grew, those in charge of supplying the growing population with water knew the small meandering river could not meet future demands.'
Pretty amazing stuff.
<a href=http://web.ladwp.com/~wsoweb/Aqueduct/historyoflaa/newsupply.htm>Mulholland<a/> was a genius. No question why Mulholland Drive runs along the top of the Hollywood Hills.
