A Short History of Water
From: Dry Run
$1.10
In this chapter you’ll learn a little of the fascinating history of water and civilization and how politics, economics and water have been part of the history of the US, especially of the West, from the very beginning. The chapter also points out that water is not just for people, but natural water flows are a critical part of a healthy environment, something that water planners, politicians and engineers have mostly ignored, not just in North America, but throughout the world.
