William Mulholland (September 11, 1855 – July 22, 1935) was an Irish American self-taught civil engineer who was responsible for building the infrastructure to provide a water supply that allowed Los Angeles to grow into the largest city in California. As the head of a predecessor to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Mulholland designed and supervised the building of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, a 233-mile-long (375 km) system to move water from Owens Valley to the San Fernando Valley. The creation and operation of the aqueduct led to the disputes known as the California Water Wars. In March 1928, Mulholland's career came to an end when the St. Francis Dam failed just over 12 hours after he and his assistant gave it a safety inspection.

Juli 1935 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein prominenter und einflussreicher Wasserbauingenieur in Südkalifornien, der das Wachstum von Los Angeles ermöglichte. In Belfast im Norden Irlands geboren, emigrierte Mulholland in den 1870er Jahren nach New York City und reiste 1877 nach San Francisco; kurz danach arbeitete er in den Kupferminen von Arizona. Schließlich zog er nach Los Angeles um, wo er den Rest seines Lebens verbrachte.

William Mulholland; 11 сентября 1855, Белфаст — 22 июля 1935, Лос-Анджелес) — американский инженер, под руководством которого была создана водопроводная инфраструктура Лос-Анджелеса. Легендарная фигура в истории города. В марте 1928 года карьера Малхолланда подошла к концу, когда плотина Святого Франциска провалилась чуть более чем через 12 часов после того, как он и его помощник провели инспекцию безопасности. В честь него была названа улица и дорога, Малхолланд-драйв. (ru) William Mulholland (Belfast, 11 de septiembre de 1855 – Los Ángeles, 22 de julio de 1935) fue un ingeniero norirlandés pionero en los servicios hídricos de California, Estados Unidos, conocido sobre todo por su proyecto del acueducto de Los Ángeles. Nació en Belfast, Irlanda y emigró a New York en 1870 con su hermano, Hugh Mulholland y más tarde a San Francisco en 1877. Mulholland trabajó como minero en Arizona antes de vivir en Los Ángeles, lugar en el que empezaría a ser conocido. El acueducto de Los Ángeles (375 km) fue concluido en noviembre de 1913. (es) William Mulholland (Belfast, Irlande, 11 septembre 1855 – 22 juillet 1935) est un ingénieur américain d'origine irlandaise qui travailla en Californie. Il dirige la construction du premier aqueduc de Los Angeles, qui permet à la cité de devenir l'une des plus grandes villes du monde. L'exploitation de l'aqueduc conduit cependant aux conflits connus sous le nom de guerres de l'eau en Californie, et à un désastre écologique lié à l'assèchement du lac Owens et de la vallée du même nom. En mars 1928, la carrière de William Mulholland prend fin lorsque, 12 heures après que lui et son assistant y ont effectué une inspection de sécurité, le barrage de St. Francis s'effondre, causant un grand nombre de morts et des dégâts considérables. Mulholland reste cependant une figure marquante de l'histoire (fr)
