Why are golf courses located near dams in Los Angeles County?

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

grayakito asked:

I’m interested in learning more about LA County’s extensive flood control network and I’ve been researching it a bit in my spare time. I’ve noticed that there are usually golf courses near dams, such as Sepulveda Dam and Whittier Narrows. I’ve also noticed that golf courses are usually located near a body of water. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Where should we start our lives as newlyweds?

Cate S asked:

My fiance and I are looking to relocate to a smaller city somewhere in the United States. I am a teacher and he is in the golf course industry. We have debated about moving to Florida (specifically the Collier County area), but I am concerned that this won’t meet our community wants. I would like to move some place that values education, has plenty of museums, and has a variety of culture. We love the warm weather and enjoy being outside. We do plan on having a large family, so it is also important that we live in an affordable environment.
