This volume in the series explores the global water supply and related issues by gathering articles published over the past six years in popular magazines, such as Mother Jones, The Saturday Evening Post, The Washington Monthly, U.S News & World Report, Newsweek, and Smithsonian. The first section looks at the imbalance of water supply and demand and the impact of industry, agriculture, and modern standards of living on water use. Articles in the second section describe conflicts among nations, corporations, and ideologies over how water is distributed. The third section highlights the worldwide toll of sewage and industrial waste on water resources, and a section on climate change considers global warming's expected impact on water issues. The final section examines various strategies for accessing and distributing water. Each section includes an overview summarizing the articles. The bibliography lists books, web sites, and abstracts of additional articles. Information on the editor is not given. Annotation 2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
