レビュー

A strong—and scary—case that a worldwide water shortage is the most fearful looming environmental crisis. With a drumbeat of facts both horrific (thousands of wells in India and Bangladesh are poisoned by fluoride and arsenic) and fascinating (it takes 20 tons of water to make one pound of coffee), the former New Scientist news editor documents a 'kind of cataclysm' already affecting many of the world's great rivers.—Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Oil we can replace. Water we can't—which is why this book is both so ominous and so important."—Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

Brilliant revision of a 2004 book

I have the original book but this one has been extensively revised and really it makes it into a new book. As I remember it, the emphasis on the first was serious depletion of groundwater aquifers due to overpumping.

The emphasis of this second book seems at least one stage further on: Pearce now emphasises how much damage dams and irrigation systems have caused in some places and that this has often led to unexpected displacement of downstream populations when their rivers dry up. This, in turn, is a driver for the recent surge of migration to Europe, in particular.

Some Rivers Are Now Dry and More Soon to Follow

2015年4月13日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

When I read this book in 2008 I found it well organized and he articulately reviews not only the major rivers of the world but also wet lands and aquifers. From the perspective of 2006, when the book was finished, it is a compendium of what has gone wrong and some disturbing projections of what might happen if the global society did not address water issues. Since the original publication the western United States has slipped into a mega-drought, Sao Paolo, Brazil's largest city has almost run out of water, Syria entered a multi-year drought which some argue is the genesis of the civil war and the rise of ISIS and the United States continues to water mine the Ogallala Aquifer for water to grow corn to produce energy inefficient ethanol. As the song from the 60s notes "When Will They Ever Learn?"

This is a book that demands an update 2nd edition. Many of the problems Mr.Pearce described have come to pass while others wait on the sidelines. The 4/13/15 front page headline of the NY Times is a picture of a rancid ditch that was once the mighty Rio Grande. Although this would not be surprising to anyone who read his book it appears as breaking "news" to many, not the least being elected politicians. Survival instruction talks about the rule of threes that if not observed will result in death: 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. Global food stocks are at historic lows and it is easy to imagine loss of potable water leading to a loss of food and should that occur we will see a loss of social coherence. Mark Twain said it best: "Whiskey is for drinking, Water is for Fighting" and as Fred Pearce noted the battles are already underway.
