Opis

The quality and quantity of water directly impacts our economy, our health, and our environment. Water in the News explores the science behind the headlines; contaminated drinking water, disappearing wet-lands, and oceans under threat from over-fishing and global warming are just a few of the pressing concerns discussed in this book. But readers will learn that there is good news, too, as various organizations, governments, and many individuals work to protect and promote wise use of our many water resources.
