"Of all that's broken with America's approach to freshwater," writes Cynthia Barnett in her 2011 "Blue Revolution: Unmaking America's Water Crisis,""the most harmful break is that of the ancient bond between people and water."

The park's sun-bleached fields stretch out on the left, while acres of strip malls and parking lots bake away on the right.
