Question

Los Angeles prospered because of oil, the automobile, and the movie industry, but what resource did Los Angeles desperately need to survive?

Answer 1

Because of Los Angeles’ hot and dry weather, they lack sufficient water. Combined with low levels of rainfall, the arid climate of the city made for some historic droughts in the past, not just in Los Angeles but in the entire state of California as well. Local officials are closely implementing water conservation programs to help alleviate the deficiency in water supply.
