When the rivers run dry : water--the defining crisis of the twenty-first century / Fred Pearce. by Pearce, Fred, author. Boston : Beacon Press, [2018] Subjects Water resources development.   Water-supply. ISBN:  9780807054895 (paperback) : 0807054895 (paperback) Description:  xi, 312 pages : map ; 23 cm Edition:  Fully revised and updated edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "Throughout history, rivers have been our foremost source of fresh water for both agriculture and individual consumption, but looming water scarcity threatens to cut global food production and cause conflict and unrest. In this visionary book, Fred Pearce takes readers around the world on a tour of the world's rivers to provide our most complete portrait yet of the growing global water crisis and its ramifications for us all. With vivid on-the-ground reporting, Pearce deftly weaves together the scientific, economic, and historic dimensions of the water crisis, showing us its complex origins--from waste to wrong-headed engineering projects to high-yield crop varieties that have saved developing countries from starvation but are now emptying their water reserves. Pearce argues that the solution to the growing worldwide water shortage is more efficiency and a new water ethic based on managing the water cycle for maximum social benefit rather than narrow self-interest."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 333.91 Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.91 Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.91 Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.91 Pearce Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.91 Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList
