The Last Drop: Solving the World's Water Crisis By Tim Smedley A sobering and scholarly investigation into the world's next great climate crisis, water scarcity is already driving the first waves of climate refugees. Human mismanagement of water is dangerously unsustainable for both ecological and human survival. In this thought-provoking book, award-winning environmental journalist Tim Smedley meets experts, victims, activists and pioneers to find out how we can mend the water table that our survival depends upon. He offers a fascinating account of the environmental and human factors that have led us to this point, and suggests practical ways to address the crisis before it's too late. By exploring the successes and failures of countries like Singapore and Israel, as well as those facing severe water stress, Smedley sheds light on the complex issues surrounding our most vital resource.
