330 .. $a "As a changing climate threatens the whole country with deeper droughts and more furious
floods that put ever more people and property at risk, Texas has become a bellwether
state for water debates. Will there be enough water for everyone? Is there the will
to take the steps necessary to defend ourselves against the sea? Is it in the nature
of Americans to adapt to nature in flux? The most comprehensive--and comprehensible--book
on contemporary water issues, A Thirsty Land delves deep into the challenges faced
not just by Texas but by the nation as a whole, as we struggle to find a way to balance
the changing forces of nature with our own ever-expanding needs. Part history, part
science, part adventure story, and part travelogue, this book puts a human face on
the struggle to master that most precious and capricious of resources, water. Seamus
McGraw goes to the taproots, talking to farmers, ranchers, businesspeople, and citizen
activists, as well as to politicians and government employees. Their stories provide
chilling evidence that Texas--and indeed the nation--is not ready for the next devastating
drought, the next catastrophic flood. Ultimately, however, A Thirsty Land delivers
hope. This deep dive into one of the most vexing challenges facing Texas and the nation
offers glimpses of the way forward in the untapped opportunities that water also presents."--Publisher's
