In this episode of Look At This!, Desmond Shaw takes us to the sprawling Los Angeles River, a popular recreation spot that runs from the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach.
That was the best brief explanation of the LA river I've ever heard.

At the head of the river there is relatively small portion that's kept natural and is used for rec. Otherwise, we don't even call it a river, we call it the flood control. These flood controls have worked for decades and allowed LA to grow on the flood plains. There is talk of upgrading portions of the flood control to provide for recreation, but there are a lot of issues, not the least being that it still controls flooding.

Yep, I was 'busted' in the river as a kid in the late '50's. Back then the sides (at least around the Compton area) were made of cement filled gunny-sacks stacked up on a slope and the bottom was just sand with the 'river' (actually a creek) running through the middle. Buddy and I walked it several miles, all the way to Long Beach, where the 'river' ended as a waterfall dropping down 10-20 ft onto rocks which were covered when the ocean tide came in. Great times to be a kid 😊

So glad they rewilded it. It has now been transforned into park as well. What is sad is that most of LA still is too focused on draining water to the sea instead of rehydrating the land. Rainwater is the free way to reverse subsidence, dropping watertables, etc as well as regreen, reduce pollution, add shade, walkability, bikeability, etc thru bioswales. Its a cheaper way to expand infrastructure while reducing irrigation costs, new parking lot installations, reduce brownouts, irrigation water strain, etc. Bioswales are basically planted, sunken mulched pits that have water drain into them, like a raingarden except bioswales are typically surrounded by paving instead of lawn. They employ biology to quickly absorb water into the ground so mosquitos are avoided. Bioswales should be the next goal of cities.

good to see efforts made to establish some vegetation in a concrete lined trapezoidal channel ..

Last I checked, real rivers aren't formed with concrete, beveled banks.

It looks like the sort of river that has been "restored" by removing a generous scattering of rusted out automobile hulks.

Could they have lined it with river rock and boulders to make it look like you know, a river?

Great explanation. Glad to see some restoration is in the works. Sure could use some rewilding.

It would be so much better if the water could soak back into the ground and water table instead of being pushed out to sea. We need the water so badly.

Exactly....they need to create shortages so you really have to pay big for water...while you pollute the planet and oceans with plastic water bottles.

Calling it a river is like calling the sewage plant a lake.

That was very interesting and informative. Great to see a report out of LA that wasn't about criminals.
