Planet under pressure
|
| Summary/Abstract |
Water is vital for life, but over one billion people across the world do not have access to clean, drinkable water. Demand for water is increasing, due to population growth and the needs of industrial, consumer societies, but it is a finite resource and the amount available is being reduced by pollution. 'Water' examines the many issues surrounding the use, supply and conservation of water today and in the future.

| Contents |
The where, what, and how much of the water world
Water in peril -
Is the crisis looming, or has it already loomed?
The natural dispensation -
How much water is there, who's running out?
Water in history -
Some things never change: How humans have always discovered, diverted, accumulated, regulated, hoarded, and misused water
Remaking the water world
Climate, weather, and water -
Are we changing the first, and will changes in the other two necessarily follow?
Unnatural selection -
Contamination, degradation, pollution, and other human gifts to the hydrosphere
The Aral sea -
An object lesson in the principle of unforeseen consequences
To give a Dam -
Dams are clean, safe, and store waterfor use in bad years, so why have they suddenly become anathema?
The problem with irrigation -
Irrigated lands are shrinking, and irrigation is joining dams on an ecologist's hit list. Why?
Shrinking aquifiers -
If the water mines ever run out, what then?
The reengineered river -
If you turn a river into a sewer, you can turn it back into a river again
The politics of water
The Middle East -
If the water burden really is a zero-sum game, how do we get past the arithmetic?
The Tigris-Euphrates system -
Shoot an arrow of peace into the air, and get a quiverful of suspicions and paranoia in return
The Nile -
With Egypt adding another million people every nine months, demand is already in critical conflict with supply. Another zero-sum game?
The United States and its neighbors -
In the menage a trois of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, who is the seducer and who the seducee?
The Chinese Dilemma -
China is not running out of wate, except in places where water is needed most
What is to be done?
Solutions and manifestos -
If you're short of water, especially clean water, the choices are conservation, technological invention, or the politics of violence
