The South East of Britain has less water per capita than the Sudan or Ethiopia, and while there is less and less rain our demand grows. Slowly, but surely, we're draining our rivers and hillside springs dry. Much more alarming, we import huge volumes of water in our dockside deliveries of wheat, beef, rice... And, while our water crisis is relatively tranquil, it is repeated - often in vastly more dangerous form - across the world. That we face a world-wide crisis is no idle threat. Pearce's 15-year research into water issues has taken him all over the world. His vivid reportage reveals the personal stories behind failing rivers, barren fields, desertification, floods, and water wars.His book gives a clear and terrifying picture of the consequences, if no remedial action is taken, but also a brilliantly challenging explanation of the steps we must take to ensure the 'blue revolution' the world desperately needs.
