A Twenty-First Century U.S. Water Policy

As is becoming clearer and clearer, pressures on water resources in the United States are growing, with no foreseeable end in sight. This book culls together independent analysis of freshwater availability; water usage in agriculture, municipalities, tribal settlements, and energy production; exisiting legal frameworks; environmental justice movements; and data on water quality and climate change. The result is a visionary proposal for a coherent and critically needed federal water policy.
