History of water in Phoenix with Leah Harrison

    Where would we be without water in Phoenix? 
A fascinating look into the history of water in Phoenix was presented at the November Historical League meeting by Leah Harrison, manager of Research Archives and Heritage at Salt River Project. We are fortunate to have such outstanding speakers sharing their knowledge and history in Zoom meetings. The photos tell some of the amazing story. Thanks to Dee Steen for co-ordinating the speaker.
