An objective look at America's rapidly shrinking water supply
Once believed to be a problem limited to America's southwest, water
shortages are now an issue coast to coast, from New England to
California. In Aqua Shock: The Water Crisis in America, author Susan
J. Marks provides a comprehensive analysis of the current conflicts
being waged over dwindling water supplies. She presents the findings of
university studies, think tanks, and research groups, as well as the
opinions of water experts, including Peter Gleick, president of the
Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security.

Shock is an objective look at how we arrived at this crisis point and
