Diane Galusha’s book Liquid Assets: A History of New York City’s Water System chronicles how thousands of people were displaced, homes were relinquished, and entire communities were destroyed to make way for the reservoirs that now provide New York City with its fresh water.
On March, 19th, Diane spoke with Radio Catskill to discuss her book and the story of how NYC’s water system has shaped the Catskills.
The Catskill Water Discovery Center held it’s soft opening on June 5, 2021. Click on any image for a larger view. To see an online version of the panel installation, go to the menu: Exhibits > NYC Water Story.
