Thinking about a theme or each (or pairs) of the units of the water channel
Here is a model of the life zones in colorado (from the grasshoppers and climate change webpage!!!) Integrate this with urban and agriculture and we can hit a lot of the topics that are central to the content the museum wants to convey with the exhibit.
Alpine: tundra, cushion plants, flowers, rock, ice, snow, glaciers, alpine lakes, pika, cold, wind, permafrost (sporatic in alpine tundra, unlike uniform in arctic tundra)
Sub alpine: flowers, spruce & fir trees, aspen, columbines, elk, butterflies, beetles, black bear, streams, trout, snow melt
Montane/Premontane (pondersa): poderosa, wildfires, grasses, deer, mountain lions, squirrels
Urban: highways, cement, metal, rivers, pollution, sewer, pipe lines, plumbing, people, water use, cars, trains
Agriculture: corn, monoculture, pests, canals, cattle, livestock, tractors, barns, silos, sunflowers
Prairie: prairie dogs, grasses, fires, insects, hawks, cotton woods
