Taking Their Water for Our City:

Archaeology of New York City’s Watershed Communities

VIRTUAL PRESENTATION

Sunday, March 20, 2 p.m.

Join Dr. April M. Beisaw, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Vassar College on Sunday, March 20th at 2 p.m. virtually on ZOOM to explore NYC’s Water System and its impact on local residents.

New York City has clean water because it comes from pure and rural mountains. However, there is nothing natural about New York City’s water. To create the water system, thousands of people lost homes and businesses, and had to sue the City for compensation.

Join Dr. Beisaw and learn about her research and exploration over the last nine years with her Vassar College students hiking portions of the city-owned watershed to document the ruins of lives cut short by a distant city. In what was left behind, researchers can begin to estimate the price that rural people paid for providing clean water to City residents.
