River basins of the American West
Char Miller · 2009
על הספר
"Examining water issues through the lens of major Western U.S. watersheds, River Basins of the American West explores why water has been, and remains, the West's most essential and controversial subject." "Char Miller has organized writings collected from the pages of High Country News, the voice of Western environmental issues, into sections defined by the great watersheds of the West. Arguably, these drainage systems form the real boundaries of the West, and current water conflicts have their roots in development that ignored this reality." "Contributors to this book - among them activists, scholars, scientists, and some of the nation's finest environmental journalists - probe the intense differences and disagreements over water rights across the West, and present the positive developments toward a lasting solution to the most fraught issue the West faces."--Jacket.
