Book review: Water: all that matters

"Water: All That Matters." Paul Younger. Hodder. November 2012. --- The world’s population is increasing; but its supply of water is not. Empires have grown and declined due to discovery and exhaustion of their water sources, and now the West is at last catching on to the fact that abundance of water can no longer be taken for granted. In Water: All That Matters, Paul Younger takes in scientific studies, the social impact of water wars, and development projects gone awry. Reviewed by Stacy Edgar.
