The book uses the dry Santa Cruz River and Rillito River as case studies to examine the intersection of urban design, hydrology, and the cultural memory of water in the Sonoran Desert. It was cited by the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) as a premier model for how researchers from art, design, and science can collaborate to raise public awareness of environmental issues. The University and College Designers Association (UCDA) awarded the book three major honours in 2013: the Gold Award in the book category, the Judge's Choice Award, and Best of Show. -- The volume focuses on the "desecrated and overlooked" dry rivers of Tucson, primarily the Rillito River, as a case study for water policy and climate change. - Literary Perspectives: the featured essays and poems provide reflections on the Rillito and the broader desert ecosystem. - Scientific and Policy Overview: contributions from scientists, offering data-driven insights into the region's climate, hydrology, and water management. - Visual and Design Projects: include an environmental series photography, architectural design (proposals for urban water interventions), as well as graphic and information design (data visualisations and maps). The book also contains a section on the "Rillito River Project" and intercontinental comparisons of arid regions.
