The story of water is fascinating, complex, with roots as deep as civilization. Despite its profound, life-giving role in our planets history, today what we hear about it is mostly bad news: the worlds supply is severely at risk. We're reminded oh this every day, with news of anothe drought, or alarming statistics about pollution, population growth, and climate change, which together threaten to make water, even more than oil, the csuse of war within our lifetime. Diane Raines Ward reaches beyond the headlines to illuminate our most vexing water problems and tell the stories of those working to solve them: hydrologists, politicians, engineers, and everday people. Based on ten years of research spanning five continents, water wars offer fresh insight into a subject to which our fate is inextricably bound.
