Synopsis

Earth is the water planet, but only a fraction of the planet's water is usable, and water pollution has become a monumental dilemma as we enter the 21st century. This book explains how society needs to adopt a precautionary principle in water matters by better understanding the consequences of their actions before, not after, those actions occur.
