Résumé :
|
Water Follies is an occasionally wry and always fascinating account of groundwater pumping and the environmental problems it causes. Robert Glennon sets forth a striking collection of stories-ranging from Down East Maine to San Antonio's River Walk to Atlanta's burgeoning suburbs-that bring to life the human and natural consequences of our growing national thirst. Glennon suggests common-sense legal and policy reforms that would address the most egregious situations and help minimize potentially catastrophic future effects.
