About the Book

Covering 71% of the earth's surface, water is the single most important substance on the planet, but due to years of neglect and pollution, both the oceans and our supply of drinking water are in a state of peril. Julian Caldecott explains the history, science, economics, and politics behind the looming water crisis, and reveals what we can all do now to make a difference.
