Synopsis

Rob Rapley is the director/producer/writer for "Flood in the Desert,"  an American Experience documentary that tells the story of the 233 mile-long aqua duct for transporting much-needed water to the Los Angeles area.  It was opened amidst much fanfare.  Sadly, the residents of LA had a mistaken  sense of abundance of water,  and their use skyrocketed.  Eventually, a number of dams were built in the effort.  The collapse of one of them, the St. Francis Dam, was one of the worst civil engineering disasters in our nation's history.
