Cattle Track Talks
Join us in the CattleTrack Gallery for a stimulating hour with creative and innovative members of our community. Presenters/performers will share their expertise and engage in lively conversation with the audience.
TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 2026
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Cattle Track Talks will feature:
Sarah Porter
JD, Director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at ASU
Arizona’s Changing Water Landscape
Join us as Sarah describes how Arizona faces new challenges related to water as flows diminish in the Colorado River, one of the state’s important supplies, and communities grapple with the reliance on non-renewing groundwater. Scottsdale is particularly vulnerable since nearly 70% of its water comes from the Colorado River via the Central Arizona Project.
Sarah will discuss the scope of these challenges, their potential impacts and what is needed to ensure future water security for Arizona.
CattleTrack Arts and Preservation supports local artists, craftsmen, and students in our commitment to preserving Scottsdale’s unique cultural heritage. We look forward to seeing the CattleTrack family for this 2025-26 season of CattleTrack Talks.
