SUMMARY:"Falling Waters: The Legacy of the Schuylkill Navigation" (Reception)
DESCRIPTION:Falling Waters: The Legacy of the Schuylkill Navigation\nA Culture & Conversation Exhibit by Sandy Sorlien \nOn exhibit in our Media Room and stairwell until December 30\, 2016\, during regular hours.\nClosing Reception: Thursday December 29\, 5:30-7 PM\, Gallery Talk 6:15\n\nAbout the Exhibit\nNo human endeavor has had a greater influence on the Schuylkill River than its 19th century network of dams. Yet residents of Southeastern Pennsylvania today may know little about the Schuylkill Navigation\, as most of its infrastructure is gone. There were once 32 dams\, 46 miles of slackwater pools\, 62 miles of canals\, and 120 locks. \nConstructed from 1816-1828 to tame the wild river\, the privately-owned system extended 108 miles from Fairmount to Port Carbon. Thus began a long period of human dominance of the river for our own purposes: transportation\, commerce\, power\, and recreation. Anthracite coal\, other raw materials\, and finished goods were carried on barges over this system\, literally fueling the Industrial Revolution in the Schuylkill Valley. It brought numerous factory boom towns like Norristown\, Conshohocken\, and Manayunk.  Unfortunately\, with this development came heavy pollution of Philadelphia’s drinking water source. Finally in 1947-51\, our state and federal government accomplished a massive cleanup\, the Schuylkill River Project\, dredging coal silt from the river and largely restoring its flow. \nMost of the infrastructure of the Schuylkill Navigation was demolished. But there are four remaining navigation dams\, two desilting dams\, two watered canals\, one working lock\, and numerous dam abutments\, lock ruins\, canal traces\, and silt impoundment basins. Some remnants are buried or overgrown or blocked by railways. In 2013\, photographer Sandy Sorlien began looking for them. \nAt the 200th anniversary of the Schuylkill Navigation\, this exhibition represents the first three years of Sandy’s ongoing quest to photograph all 32 dam sites on her native river. \n“Falling Waters” will be on display at the Fairmount Water Works from September 15 – December 31\, 2016. (The gallery is occasionally used for private events. Calling ahead is suggested.) \nAbout the Artist\nSandy Sorlien is a photographer\, neighborhood planner\, and watershed educator. Her photographs are in the collections of numerous institutions\, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Michener Museum\, and Haverford College. Since 2012 Sandy has been a contractor at the Fairmount Water Works\, the education arm of Philadelphia Water. She has developed several upriver dam-related programs\, including the Falling Waters tour series and the Schuylkill Dam Series geocaches. She was born and raised in the Schuylkill River watershed and lives in Roxborough near the Manayunk Canal. Sandy rows out of Bachelors Barge Club on Boathouse Row\, and watches carefully for herons\, kingfishers\, and otters – all biological indicators of a healthy river. \nAbout Culture & Conversation\nUsing art as the platform\, Culture & Conversation prompts meaningful\, thought-provoking dialogue about our environment.

SUMMARY:Science Saturday - "Diatoms: Jewels of the River"
DESCRIPTION:Drop in every Saturday between 2-4 pm\, and together\, we’ll explore different aspects of our environment during fun and interactive sessions in our water lab. \nArt and science meet as you explore the colorful and wondrous microscopic world of water. Discover the complex and intricate beauty of these hidden single-celled algae called diatoms along with their contribution to water quality research. \nDiatoms have a glass-like silica cell wall that consists of two halves that elegantly fit together.  In the 19th century amateur scientists amused themselves by arranging them in intricate patterns\, in the 20th century\, famed woman ecologist Ruth Patrick pioneered the study of these small cells to study water pollution.

SUMMARY:Science Saturday - "Diatoms: Jewels of the River"
DESCRIPTION:Drop in every Saturday between 2-4 pm\, and together\, we’ll explore different aspects of our environment during fun and interactive sessions in our water lab. \nArt and science meet as you explore the colorful and wondrous microscopic world of water. Discover the complex and intricate beauty of these hidden single-celled algae called diatoms along with their contribution to water quality research. \nDiatoms have a glass-like silica cell wall that consists of two halves that elegantly fit together.  In the 19th century amateur scientists amused themselves by arranging them in intricate patterns\, in the 20th century\, famed woman ecologist Ruth Patrick pioneered the study of these small cells to study water pollution.

SUMMARY:Science Saturday – "A Day in the Life of the Schuylkill River: The Exploration Continues"
DESCRIPTION:Spring is a time when life in the stream comes alive. Macroinvertebrates are organisms that are big enough for you to see with the bare eye\, but without backbones. Mayflies\, water pennies\, caddisflies\, and stoneflies…scientists use these freshwater creatures as natural indicators of river health.  In our water lab\, act like a scientist to inspect and characterize your own virtual river sample. Do they have legs or shells? Are they “shredders”\, “grazers”\, or “collectors”? Learn all about these creatures during this family-friendly program.
