Act 1 Scene 1, depicts this very moment in time for Powell and our Country’s future water crisis.

In 1883, geologist John Wesley Powell was on stage at a western Irrigation Conference when he declared: “Gentlemen, you are piling up a heritage of conflict and litigation over water rights, for there is not sufficient water to supply the land.” JWP advocated for understanding water resources as a basis for development based on watershed boundaries instead of simplistic grid systems.
