In 1938, following a series of devastating floods, the United States Army Corps of Engineers embarked on a twenty-two-year effort to convert the Los Angeles River into a fifty-one-mile concrete storm channel. After enduring decades of criticism and countless Hollywood car-chase scenes, the L.A. River is now a civic and environmental priority.
