Aridity is the defining physical feature of the American West, and the soci-political ecology of the West can only be understood in relationship to this feature. From the outset, inhabitants of the West was motivated by a utopian vision that focused on transforming the region into a new Eden: a hydraulic society made possible through engineering.
