Robert Glennon’s new book Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What To Do About It is an excellent read. He not only discusses the water problems facing us, but he also offers some potential solutions. Why is it that Las Vegas, Nevada, a city built in the dessert, has lush golf courses, fountains, canals, and a seemingly endless ability to find water where none exists? Read the book and find the answer.
No one interested in the topic of water (and no one should not be interested in this critical topic) should miss the April 2010 National Geographic special edition on water. Interesting and informative stories and analysis; useful facts; great pictures; and helpful graphics. Did you know that 100 gallons of water costs $3.43 in Copenhagen; $1.65 in San Diego; and $0.05 in Buenos Aires?
