Water in a Warmer World

This guide is intended for those who want to try and
understand more about water problems and to do
something to improve the situation by using appropriate
technologies and social mechanisms for sustainable
development. Of course, there are many other books on
the topic and buckets of information in the information
superhighway. This flood of information is, in fact, a
problem as most people have limited time and resources
to grasp the essentials and move quickly. Much of the
existing water literature is bogged down in detail and
misses the forest for the trees. This guide attempts to be a
template into which the mass of water knowledge is fitted
and to provide the basic environmental literacy skills in
the topic, especially those most useful in future planning.
The guide is a first step which can lead onto the informa-
tion superhighway proper, and practical tips are included
on where to go for more knowledge, be it in the library or
on the Internet.
