This month marks the end of WRRC Director Sharon Megdal’s service as a board member of the Central Arizona Water Conservation District, better known as the Central Arizona Project (CAP). As a memento for her 12 years of service, Dr. Megdal was presented with the delightful caricature pictured here. It highlights her CAGRD and Underground Storage Committee membership, along with her serving as Board Secretary and Chair of this committee from February 2016 through 2020. Also pictured are key connections between her CAP Board service and her water work and research at the WRRC, including recharge basins that are important to CAGRD operations and Central Arizona water management. The WATEC folder to her left signifies her work connecting CAP Board members, staff, and many other Arizonans to Israeli technology and water management through conferences, seminars, and other means. The WRRC’s water map is featured in the upper right, and Sharon’s worry about getting back to Tucson in time for UArizona basketball games is reflected by the basketball on the shelf! And note the colors she’s wearing. In addition to expressing her appreciation of having the honor to serve as a member of the CAP Board, Director Megdal laughed when she saw what was written on the spine of one of the books by noting, “My students will appreciate that I emphasize adhering to the ‘that vs. which’ rule universally!”
