Mono Lake, the oldest lake in California, was once a source of water that was diverted to Los Angeles. In 1978, the Mono Lake Committee waged a battle to save the lake from being completely drained. Jim Canaday was the Senior Environmental Scientist with the California State Water Resources Control Board responsible for overseeing the restoration of Mono Lake. Jim tells a story about how the state finally recognized the Public Trust in the 1994 landmark “Audubon Decision.”
