The Ripple Effect: The Fate of Fresh Water in the Twenty-First Century by Alex Prud'homme
2.0
Let me state that I did not finish this book. I read the first of the three parts (so about 100 pages) but after talking with classmates I know my concerns with the book didn’t get resolved in the end.
This was a requirement for class and man am I disappointed in it. Im working on my masters in the hopes of going into water supply planning and I thought this would help my classmates understand this field. All lies. This book just focuses on problems, provides inaccurate information on the industry and doesn’t look at any solutions on how to address the issues. It also doesn’t really acknowledge how the EPA is told to enforce a lot of regulations without any funding or man power.
The only reason I’m giving this 2 stars instead of 1 is because by providing so many examples of water contamination in America it shows how the US government and society ignores these pressing concerns that are a requirement for survival.
