http://www.cee.ucla.edu/events/cee-1-seminar-adam-perez-serge-haddad-and-annette-flores/     UCLA Civil & Environmental Engineering Department C&EE 1     The Evolving Water System of the City of Los Angeles   Adam Perez, P.E., Serge Haddad, P.E., and Annette Flores, P.E. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power   Civil engineers have shaped the development of Los Angeles since its founding in 1781. That influence quickly expanded across California with the construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in the early 1900's.

Engineers today face many new challenges including aging infrastructure, climate change, and stricter drinking water quality standards. Engineers at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power are ready to meet t...
