This atlas graphically sounds alarm bells and signals a red alert about the assault and damage we are doing to the planet's life blood; draining wetlands, over-irrigating farmland, contaminating water systems, damming rivers, mining groundwater, tearing down forests etc.

A brief introduction to water issues, complete with charts and graphs. Presentable to the lay person, but technical enough to use as a reference book in a class on the topic.

Out of Print: quick find it used. It is worth it!

Distributor's Commentary: "The Water Atlas brings together the latest findings to show water distribution worldwide, the real cost of use in water-rich countries, and the dangers of a future where privatization and profit dictate availability. The atlas covers a wide range of topics, from consumption and scarcity to areas of political tension and looming catastrophes. Including detailed profiles of vulnerable regions—such as California, the Middle East, and India—as well as bold summaries of the global picture, The Water Atlas will be a unique resource for general readers as well as health professionals, advocates, and students."
