water from california’s northern mountains is pumped south along a 400-mile canal through the farming communities of the central valley. not only is this canal system a marvel of modern engineering, its water fuels the state’s economic engine. in 2006, these farms produced $31 billion-worth of food and fiber, more than any other state. by contrast, world-wide ticket sales of hollywood movies, a more famous export of california, totaled $25 billion that year.
