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, June 1: Shaun Rydell, City of Prescott Water Conservation Coordinator, and Andy Millison, Permaculturist and Rainwater Harvesting Specialist, offer practical methods to reduce home water consumption in the Museum Gallery.
