"Punchy, pacy and perceptive, Watershed takes us through the fascinating history of water in this country. It examines the rise of water moguls unknown to most of us, and explains why water now pitches state premiers against each other and the Commonwealth. It's full of yarns of battles for water at the grass roots level, past and present, and issues clear warnings of the great environmental challenges facing the nation: dams, salination, pollution and conservation, and clean water for our show more cities. In Watershed, the who's who of water have their say, from business powerbrokers such as Dick Pratt and Hugh Morgan to environmentalist Petter Garrett, commentator Alan Jones and top politicians and scientists such as Peter Cullen and Graham Harris. Extensively researched, from big cities to Kununurra, Kalgoorlie, the Cooper Creek and beyond, Watershed is a wake-up call for every Australian." -- BOOK JACKET. show less
