Cracked : the future of dams in a hot, chaotic world / Steven Hawley ; foreword by David James Duncan.
"Cracked: The Future of Dams in a Hot, Crazy World is a kind of speed date with the history of water control--its dams, diversions and canals, and just as importantly, the politics and power that evolved with them. Examples from the American West reveal that the costs of building and maintaining a sprawling water storage and delivery complex in an arid world--growing increasingly arid under the ravages of climate chaos--is well beyond the benefits furnished. Success stories from Patagonia and the Blue Heart of Europe point to a possible future where rivers run free and the earth restores itself"-- Provided by publisher.
