Tapping the Oceans provides a detailed analysis of the political
and ecological debates facing water desalination in the
twenty-first century. Water supplies for cities around the world
are undergoing profound geographical, technological and political
transformations. Increasingly, water-stressed cities are looking to
the oceans to fix unreliable, contested and over-burdened water
supply systems. Yet the use of emerging desalination technologies
is accompanied by intense debates on their economic cost,
governance, environmental impact and poses wider questions for the
sustainable and just provision of urban water. Through a series of
cutting-edge case studies and multi-subject approaches, this book
explores the perspectives, disputes and politics surrounding water
desalination on a broad geographical scale. As the first book of
its kind, this unique work will appeal to those researching water
and infrastructure issues in the fields of political ecology,
geography, environmental science and sustainability. Industry and
water managers who wish to understand the political debates around
desalination technology more fully will also find this an
informative read. Contributors include: E. Feitelson, M. Fragkou,
S. Gorostiza, A. Loftus, H. March, J. McEvoy, D. Pavon Gamero, D.
Sauri, A. Scheba, S. Scheba, E. Swyngedouw, M. Usher, J. Williams
