My project then brought me from Barbados to Rihanna, an internationally famous singer who is from Barbados but now lives and works in Los Angeles. She then brought me to the Central Valley Project in California.

Central Valley Project
The Central Valley Project is a scheme set up to provide water to provide irrigation to much of the California Central Valley. They do this by regulating and storing water in reservoirs in the northern half of the state which has plenty of water, and transporting it to San Joaquin Valley and its surroundings by  canals, aqueducts and pump plants. In addition to the Irrigation system, the system also creates over 2,000 megawatts of hydroelectricity and controls flooding in the areas surrounding its reservoirs.
