Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newcomers to Tucson know the Santa Cruz River as a dry bed that can become a rampaging flood after heavy rains. Yet until the late nineteenth century, the Santa Cruz was an active watercourse that served the region’s agricultural needs—until a burgeoning industrial society began to tap the river’s underground flow. The Lessening Stream reviews the changing human use of the Santa Cruz River and its aquifer from the earliest human presence in the valley to today. Michael Logan examines the social, cultural, and political history of the Santa Cruz Valley while interpreting the implications of various cultures' impacts on the river and speculating about the future of water in the region. Logan traces river history through three eras—archaic, modern, and postmodern—to capture the human history of the river from early Native American farmers through Spanish missionaries to Anglo settlers. He shows how humans first diverted its surface flow, then learned to pump its aquifer, and today fail to fully understand the river's place in the urban environment. By telling the story of the meandering river—from its origin in southern Arizona through Mexico and the Tucson Basin to its terminus in farmland near Phoenix—Logan links developments throughout the river valley so that a more complete picture of the river's history emerges. He also contemplates the future of the Santa Cruz by confronting the serious problems posed by groundwater pumping in Tucson and addressing the effects of the Central Arizona Project on the river valley. Skillfully interweaving history with hydrology, geology, archaeology, and anthropology, The Lessening Stream makes an important contribution to the environmental history of southern Arizona. It reminds us that, because water will always be the focus for human activity in the desert, we desperately need a more complete understanding of its place in our lives.

Book excerpt: Seventy million years ago there was explosive volcanic activity in the Mountains near Santa Cruz Valley. Thirty million years ago the volcanoes burst forth again to create sheets of black lava. Only the ancestors of the present day animals witnessed this spectacular event. Scientists know that Paddy the Packrat is a descendant of the packrats that fearfully watched the exploding volcanoes. The main characters of his historical story about southern Arizona are Sancho and Carlos- 300 pound bighorn sheep. They watched children who moved into their valley to work and play. As people moved in, some of the animals moved to the mountains in the surrounding valley. But Paddy the Packrat stayed to build his nest of 'junk': cacti, twigs and shiny objects. Ice Age people came from Siberia with their wooly mammoths. Indians from Mexico arrived with corn seeds to plant. Father Kino brought the "rock horses" and an idea of a Mission from Spain. Chinese people came from the California gold fields to work on the railroad. The Santa Cruz Valley was fertile, protected by mountains with year round flowing water and food for the animals and people. This is a story about the life of the animals, plants and children who came to the Valley before 1900. Part of the story is told in rhymes. Children can colour the pictures and search for Sancho, Carlos or Paddy in the illustrations. Historical dates, maps, photos and illustrations tell the story of the Santa Cruz Valley in the Southern Arizona Valley.
