From the contributors to The Conversation, a compelling essay
collection on the world's water crises and the necessary steps to
build a more sustainable and equitable water future for all.
Water-related crises are affecting more and more communities, both
in the United States and internationally. If we continue to delay
upgrading our infrastructure and addressing rising environmental
concerns, we risk further destabilizing already strained
systems—or, worse, causing a catastrophic collapse. In The
Conversation on Water, water scholar and professor Andrea K. Gerlak
collects essays from The Conversation U.S. on critical issues
related to water from leading experts in everything from public
policy to environmental engineering. Gerlak pays special attention
to the threats facing our water systems today—covering
insufficient infrastructure, climate change, and pollution—and
integrates them with essays on technologies for harvesting water
and Indigenous knowledge in governing the oceans. She then proposes
solutions that present opportunities for hope and reform. From new
partnerships and collaborative efforts to alternative governance
practices and new scientific tools and community approaches,
readers will learn about viable pathways forward and will
understand the deep social and political dimensions of water
governance. Understanding these challenges is the first step toward
building a more sustainable and equitable water future for all. The
Critical Conversations series collects essays from top scholars on
timely topics, including water, biotechnology, gender diversity,
gun culture, and more, originally published on the independent news
