The Ruth Powell Hutchins Water Center and EUREKA! McConnell Science Museum are proud to present the Common Ground Speaker Series: Exploring water, land, climate, and resilience in the West, a collaborative speaker series in three installments exploring life, resilience, and water in the desert southwest. Join us for our second night, The History of Water Development in the Grand Valley and the Timeless Role of Collaboration, that bridges big-picture river science with actionable steps you can take in your own backyard. Registration is required, but this speaker series is free for all attendees! Donations are welcome.
Zebulon Miracle, a local historian, will walk us through the history of water development in the Grand Valley and how our way of life at the confluence of the Colorado and Gunnison rivers came to be. Through hard work, innovation, and the power of collaboration, this arid landscape was transformed into a bustling and agriculturally productive community. Looking ahead, Zebulon will explore how collaborative efforts in the past can help shape our efforts now and into the future with living in a time of water scarcity. At 6:30 PM, come view Dave Showalter's Living River Photography Exhibit at Tomlinson Library!
