Water Quality & Treatment Editorial Review
In "Water in Plain Sight: Hope for a Thirsty World," author Judith Schwartz highlights the ways in which water flows through our planet and the many ways people all over the world are learning and practicing better water management practices. The book puts climate change in a larger perspective in which fossil fuel emissions are only a piece, stressing the critical role of proper water management in mitigating climate change. The empowering insight of this book is that many of these practices can be implemented locally and don't solely rely on the action of government and powerful economic forces.
