Water: Quest for the Solution

Water is a serious subject. An unlimited and endless supply of it can no longer be taken for granted, especially in the arid Southwest. But, as the past demonstrates, water for desert dwellers continues to be an important and fascinating part of Arizona’s survival. Sharlot Hall Museum’s newest exhibit examines the history of water management in Arizona, and bring to life the story of this critical and ever-changing natural resource.

On Sunday, July 27: Karen Smith, Assistant Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources, will offer a comprehensive outline of the state's efforts to maintain a secure water supply for all Arizonans. 1:00 PM in the Museum Center Gallery.
