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, September 7: A River Reborn. Executive producer Dr. Stephan Sommer, with guests Mindy Schlimgen and Vince Randall, presents the award-winning documentary detailing the restoration of Fossil Creek. A discussion will follow the film presentation. 1:00 PM in the Museum Center Gallery.
