Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The thin ribbon of the Carmel River is just thirtysix miles long and no wider in most places than a child can throw a stone. It is the primary water supply for the everburgeoning presence of tourists, agriculture, and industry on Californias Monterey Peninsula. It is also one of the top ten endangered rivers in North America. The rivers story, which dramatically unfolds in this book, is an epic tale of exploitation, development, and often unwitting degradation reaching back to the first appearance of Europeans on the pristine peninsula.River in Ruin is a precise weaving of water historylocal and largerand a natural, social, and environmental narrative of the Carmel River. Ray A. March traces the rivers misuse from 1879 and details how ever more successful promotions of Monterey demanded more and more water, leading to one dam after another. As a result the river was disastrously depleted, cluttered with concrete rubble, and inhospitable to the fish prized by visitors and residents alike.Marchs book is a cautionary tale about squandering precious water resourcesabout the ultimate cost of a ruined river and the slim but urgent hope of bringing it back to life.
