This book has important lessons for coping with looming water shortages in virtually every river basin and nation worldwide.' Bruce Babbitt, U.S. Secretary of the Interior (1993 - 2001), Governor of Arizona (1978 - 1987) 'A very informative and valuable work. Those interested in the complexity of issues in arid regions will find a wealth of information.' David S. Brookshire, University of New Mexico
