Project Outline[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians, I'm planning to modify this page for my Environmental Studies course at Sac State. I will be adding the following Sections. Introduction- What was/is the Raker Act, and who/what was involved. I will also include basic information The Raker Act- this section will contain the law behind the Raker Act along with some history Resistance- A background on who opposed the Raker Act and what was done to try and stop the construction of the O’Shaughnessy Dam. Construction of the O’Shaughnessy Dam- what it took to construct the dam. Raker Act Today- Some of the environmental implications of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and some controversies behind the Raker Act that are still in place today References "The Hetch Hetchy Story, Part II: PG&E and the Raker Act."

Peer Review[edit]

Hey Jack, So it looks like you have a pretty clear idea of what you are wanting to focus on regarding the Raker Act. The sections you have planned are all solid, each one focusing on important factors ranging from socially, environmentally, and historically importance. Once you start adding to each section though you should a lot more detail to really give the readers the idea/objective behind the Raker Act and it's outcome. Definitely start putting the work in and creating these sections! Your sources so far all seem to be credible. Nothing really to critic heavily but the subject and thought put into this outline has me excited to read the finished page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sydneyberrios (talk • contribs) 04:49, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
