In many countries, we take for granted the existence of a safe, drinkable water supply. Other places, it is hardly a given. This book looks at the challenges to the world water supply, and the far-reaching environmental, commercial and political costs if those challenges are not met. Among the topics covered in Clear Choices are problems of population growth and climate change, but also some of the remarkable big-picture thinking going on in this field. The book also offers up an interesting question: Is access to clean water a basic human right?
