Tapped Out

the long version

"In Tapped Out: The Coming World Crisis in Water and What We Can Do About It, former Senator Paul Simon delivers stirring evidence of a catastrophic water crisis that will explode upon the global community unless drastic measures are taken in all corners of the world, including in our own backyards. Simon also proposes many sound, concrete long-term solutions, including more aggressive desalination research; reducing pollution in order to lesson the greenhouse effect, which contributes greatly to drought; planting trees to reduce flooding and stabilize water resources; and many more. And to each of the world's citizens, Simon suggests that we all get involved in our communities to learn more about, promote, discuss, and raise everyone's awareness of this potentially devastating, yet avoidable, crisis."--BOOK JACKET.
