In 1913, after more than a decade of debate, the United States Congress voted to dam and flood Yosemite National Park's Hetch Hetchy Valley
to supply the city of San Francisco with water and power.
"(Hetch Hetchy was) the first time American culture debated the values of
wilderness and the claims and needs of civilization."
