Explore the landscape, history, and politics of NYC's water supply in the Catskills!
NYC’s water supply has shaped the Catskills for more than a century—it’s an extraordinarily complicated and fascinating history. If you spend time in the Catskills or drink NYC water, it’s a story worth knowing.
We’ll visit the two largest reservoirs in the system, the Ashokan and the Pepacton, and resonant places in between. We’ll hear stories of the watershed that run from the profound to the everyday, from tour leader Lize Mogel and local experts including historians, advocates, water managers, and others.
