Adventures in Managing Water: Real-World Engineering Experiences is a collection of
essays that present the challenges of providing adequate, reliable, affordable, and
clean water supplies to communities around the world. These stories, shared by engineers
and other water management professionals, express the trials, successes, lessons learned,
and moments of enlightenment each professional faced while building institutions and
creating water management policies in the United States and abroad. hese essays are
a compilation of field experiences, which includes adventures faced when coping with
droughts, floods, and pollution issues in Australia, China, Uzbekistan, and other
countries. The challenges involved in establishing policies for Lake Baikal in Russia
and the Great Lakes in North America, for example, demonstrate the similarities across
international boundaries. Managing river flows and their allocations in the United
States and abroad requires more than the physical laws of hydrology and hydraulics
