Join the City of New York Department of Records and Information Services for an exploration of the story of New York City’s water system – a tale of daring, sacrifice and tragedy. The program will feature the stories of the engineers, politicians, contractors, and laborers (many of whom were immigrants) who built the vast network of tunnels and dams and explore the extraordinary price paid by thousands of upstate residents who were displaced by the Croton, Catskill, and Delaware reservoirs.

About the author: Diane Galusha is a former journalist with a passion for history. She was the editor of the Catskill Mountain News in Margaretville, NY from 1989 to 1996, when the NYC Watershed Memorandum of Agreement was being negotiated by federal, state, city, environmental and watershed representatives. She recently retired from her role as communications director and education coordinator for the Catskill Watershed Corporation.
