Synopsis
To get a glass of water, a third of humanity turns on the tap. The rest improvises. The number of people who die worldwide from lack of access to safe water is equivalent to an area the size of Canada.
Customer Reviews
A interesting introduction
This book is an excellent introduction to the issues surrounding water in the world. It explores it's exploitation as well as other issues such as pollution and availability. It is beautifully packaged and illustrated, and the variety of essays from different people provides a wide view. My only criticism is that it is a little too basic. It seems to introduce a topic and then just as you are getting interested in it and want to learn more, it moves on to a new issue. However this is a good springboard to other books in this genre and an attractive all round package.
