A compelling look at the challenges of freshwater conservation and
management issues facing the United States at the start of the new
millennium. Battles have been fought, lives have been lost,
countries divided-and all for one reason-water. Freshwater Issues
provides a quick education in the basics and essential issues of
freshwater management. From water supply and resource information
to the role of water in ecosystems, the coverage also provides
global water data, examines uncertainties about future water
supplies, and addresses technological advances in the development
of water resources and environmental safeguards. Thorough treatment
is given to water rights, allocation issues, and U.S. water laws
and their many regional variations. This is followed by an
explanation of the economics of water, from ownership and pricing
to social impact and discussions of often-conflicting public,
environmental, and private interests. The war over water has just
begun.
