The United States faces a water crisis as critical as the energy
crisis that dominated headlines until recently. Like the energy
crisis, a solution can be found. Pat Mulroy, for many years the
head of the Colorado River water commission and now a Brookings
fellow, has gathered together a number of practitioners and
scholars to show us why we face a crisis and what we can do to help
alleviate it. While the focus has been on California recently with
its water restrictions and drought, the many other parts of the
United States are also suffering from current and potential water
shortages that will only be exacerbated by climate change. The
Water Problem takes us to Miami and the problem of rising oceans
fouling freshwater reservoirs, Kansas and Nebraska where intensive
farming is draining age-old aquifers, and to the Southwest United
States, where growing populations and urban environments are
putting unsustainable stresses on the Colorado River.Mulroy and her
contributors explore not just the problems, but also what we can do
now to put in place measures to deal with a very real crisis.
