This collection of materials was begun by Richard W. Dickenson, an
expert in California water law, who was San Joaquin County Counsel during the
1960s. Holt Atherton staff have expanded Dickenson's various presentations on
Water Law to include materials on a variety of 20th century San Joaquin Valley
and statewide water issues.
Topics represented in this collection include: Water Quality, Flood
Control, Water Distribution, Water Conservation, Water Usage, and Drought. The
Dickenson Collection also contains materials pertaining to the creation and
operation of the Central Valley Project, the California State Water Project,
and their component units.
