Once Was Water
Las Vegas, Nevada, the thirstiest city in the driest state, is now trying to leverage that reputation by turning itself into a hub for new and innovative water technology. Some are saying that it may even become the Silicon Valley of Water Conservation. Everything is watched, measured and checked. Water is recycled and returned to the source. All of this plays against a tapestry of outrageous, photogenic excess. The Desert blooms!
