Our twentieth-century systems for providing the water that grows food, sustains cities, and supports healthy ecosystems are failing to meet the demands of growing population and the challenges brought on by climate change. But the grim news reports--of empty reservoirs, withering crops, failing ecosystems--need not be cause for despair, argues award-winning author David Sedlak. Communities on the front lines of previous water crises have pioneered approaches that are ready to be applied elsewhere. Some have resolved shortages by enhancing water-use efficiency, and others have used moments of crisis to resolve historic disagreements over water rights. Still others have employed treatment technologies that unlock vast quantities of untapped water resources. Sedlak identifies the challenges that society faces, including ineffective policies and outdated infrastructure, and the myriad of tools at our disposal--from emerging technologies in desalination to innovations for recycling wastewater and capturing more of the water that falls on fields and cities. He offers an informed and hopeful approach for rethinking our assumptions about the way that water is managed. With this knowledge we can create a future with clean, abundant, and affordable water for all."--Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Water-supply. 650 0 $a Water resources development. 650 0 $a Water use. 650 0 $a Water efficiency. 650 6 $a Eau $x Approvisionnement. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0007151 650 6 $a Ressources en eau $x Exploitation. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0007166 650 6 $a Eau $x Utilisation. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0008782 650 6 $a EÌconomie d'eau. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0365061 650 7 $a water resources development. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aat300163232 650 7 $a Water efficiency $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01171716 650 7 $a Water resources development $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01171955 650 7 $a Water-supply $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01172350 650 7 $a Water use $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01172188 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240402012047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9099F032F0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
