Water is obviously a critical concern in Arizona and across the west, and a new Smithsonian exhibit is taking the issue to a dozen rural communities around the state.

It’s called Water/Ways, and it looks into areas including the sources and uses of water, as well as some of the ways people are thinking about conserving it.

To talk about the exhibit on The Show was Brenda Thompson, executive director of Arizona Humanities, which along with ASU is helping to put it on.
