Renewing the World: Water

Climate change is upon us. The first system impacted will be water—we are the water planet. We are now seeing signs: increasingly damaging storms, floods, droughts, and wildfires. Many of the world’s greatest achievements came in response to crisis. This book looks at water problems through solutions and innovations. Climate change will cause the most extensive - and resilient - rebuilding that history has ever seen. Every field will be affected by water: from accounting and agriculture to engineering, law, and technology.
