Every Drop for Sale: Our Desperate Battle Over WATER In A World About To Run Out(ISBN=9781585423675) rb mobi 在线 下载 lit txt 网盘 pdf

　　An investigative journalist explores our world on the brink of

running out of usable water.

Less than .0008 percent of the total water on Earth is fit for

human consumption, but global consumption of fresh water is

doubling every twenty years. Water has become perhaps our most

precious commodity-a life-sustaining but increasingly rare and

privatized resource. A dramatic gap exists between those who have

adequate water for survival and those who don't, and tensions over

water in some areas of the world hover just below open war.

From Europe to Asia to Africa to America, Jeffrey Rothfeder has

visited the world's hot spots, those with the least amount of

water, as well as places where there is so much of it that plans

are in the works to sell the excess to the highest bidder. In this

compelling narrative account of our world in turmoil over water,

Rothfeder describes the issues and struggles of the people on all

sides of the water crisis: from the scarred survivors of bizarre

water-management practices, to those who are willing to die for

water to sustain their families and crops, to the scientists and

leaders who are trying to set things straight.

Important, provocative, and immensely readable, Every Drop for

Sale explores a fascinating critical dilemma: As we run out of

it, is water a fundamental right of everybody on Earth or just a

product humans need that can be bought and sold like any other

commodity?
