When the 1976-1977 drought dried up reservoirs and surface water resources, Marin County had trouble supplying water to its residents. In June of 1977, an emergency pipeline was built across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, visible in the background here. The pipeline supplied parts of the county with water from the Delta.
