Mountaintop to Tap: A 3-week trek across the New York City water supply system

Photograph and Journal Exhibit: a student exhibit of the path of New York City's drinking water supply

At a workshop in the spring of 2007, National Geographic Photographer Bob Caputo, trained the trekkers to capture pictures that tell a story. The students then chronicled their 3 week journey through photographs and journal entries.

This is an exhibit of those photographs and journal entries.  They tell the story of the NYC water supply.  They also tell the story of 12 students who had a life-changing experience.

In their words and through their eyes, these 12 students will help you discover how healthy water gets from its source in the Catskill Mountains to the taps in NYC.  Whether you are a bottled water consumer or drink directly from the tap, you do not want to miss this event!
