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, October 26: Water Ways: Water, Human Nature and Human Culture. Dr. Eugene Anderson, author of Ecologies of the Heart, discusses water, human evolution and water symbolism in diverse cultures. 1PM in the Museum Center Gallery.
