Gies introduces us to water experts the world over as they search for clues to water's past and present, using close observation, historical research, ancient animal and human wisdom, and cutting-edge science to effect change. We become more aware of the ways in which modern civilizations speed water away, erasing its slow phases on the land. But that's when, Gies says, "the magic happens": the slow phases absorb floods, store water for droughts, and feed natural systems. Innovators in what she calls the Slow Water movement are accommodating that desire, and showing us how to forge a more resilient future"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.9116 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 333.9116 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.9116 Gies Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.9116 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.9116 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.9116 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.9116 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
