Hetchy Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park, CaliforniaLocated in California, the Hetchy Hetchy Valley has been a topic of environmental controversy since 1906 when San Francisco applied to the United States Department of the Interior for the rights to dam the Hetchy Hetchy Valley. The project was authorized in 1913 and has attracted the attention of many environmental groups since then. Groups like the Sierra Club and Restore Hetchy Hetchy still advocate removing the dam and restoring the valley to its former appearance. However, neither group has attracted political pull for the restoration and for the foreseeable future, the Hetchy Hetchy Valley will continue as a reservoir for the O'Shaughnessy Dam. -- source link
