Synopsis
In the time it takes to skim this catalog - say ten minutes - forty children around the world will have died because they didn't have enough clean water or sanitation facilities. In the world today, over a billion people lack safe drinking water. As tension mounts between states competing for diminished supplies of "blue gold," the global water industry is expected to become a trillion-dollar-a-year operation within a decade. Up until now, no single publication has given shape and meaning to statistics about water use, re-use, and control. With a range of maps of startling clarity and richness of detail, The Water Atlas brings together the latest findings to show water distribution worldwide, the real cost of use in water-rich countries, and the dangers of a future where privatization and profit dictate availability. The atlas covers a wide range of topics, from consumption and scarcity to areas of political tension and looming catastrophes. Including detailed profiles of vulnerable regions - such as California, the Middle East, and India - as well as bold summaries of the global picture.
The Water Atlas will be a unique resource for general readers as well as health professionals, advocates, and students."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
