This is a well researched study of the coming shortage that will be upon Alberta in the coming decade. Calgary in particular will have a population of over 1,000,000 people, and will be desperately scrounging for any amount of potable fluid. Will Alberta become a serious participant in water conservation, and therefore have something to say about the future of billions of people on this planet? Well, the crisis will demonstrate the extent that Albertans will strive for making fact-based rather than ideological decisions. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"As it warms, our world is running out of fresh water--fast. Lakes, aquifers and rivers are disappearing, but we consume more water than ever. What will this mean for North Americans? Dry spring shows dramatically how water loss will devastate countless communities over the next 25 years--cities and farms, forests and coastlines, ranches and orchards. The scarcity of water challenges the soaring success of some of our continent's fastest-growing regions: the American Southwest, the arid plains of Western Canada, the cross-border Great Lakes Basin. Yet while unprecedented dryness afflicts such areas as these, violently wet storms pummel many others. And drought and flooding will only worsen over time. In years to come, Canada will get more water and the U.S. less; Wood demonstrates provocatively what this will mean for political relations. He concludes with inspiring examples of choices we can all make that will help us preserve our water for future generations."--Book jacket. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
