The Los Angeles River is the birthplace of the Los Angeles (LA) region and was once a thriving,
unifying water source for the people and wildlife of LA. For thousands of years, the River
provided sustenance to the Gabrieleño-Tongva, Fernandeño Tataviam, Gabrieleño-Kizh, and
Chumash. But over the past century, drastic changes have occurred that have changed LA’s
relationship to water.
As LA’s water story continues to change, we invite you to engage with the issues and be part of
how that story unfolds.
What’s On Tap: LA’s Water Story…Source to Spigot is curated by Edith & Jolly de Guzman.
This programming is presented in partnership with: Avenue 50 Studio, California Institute for
Water Resources, Arroyo Arts Collective, University of California Division of Agriculture and
Natural Resources, UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation, and UCLA Water Resources Group.
