Declining access to fresh water is one of the twenty-first
century's most pressing environmental and human rights challenges,
yet the struggle for water is not a new cause. The 8,800-kilometer
border dividing Canada and the United States contains more than 20
percent of the world's total freshwater resources, and Border Flows
t races the century-long effort by Canada and the United States to
manage and care for their ecologically and economically shared
rivers and lakes. Ranging across the continent, from the Great
Lakes to the Northwest Passage to the Salish Sea, the histories in
Border Flows offer critical insights into the historical struggle
to care for these vital waters. From multiple perspectives, the
book reveals alternative paradigms in water history, law, and
policy at scales from the local to the transnational. Students,
concerned citizens, and policymakers alike will benefit from the
lessons to be found along this critical international border.
