Description

It is no wonder that water is always in the news: it covers about three quarters of the planet's surface, and humans need a clean supply of water. This work explores the science behind the headlines and discusses the concerns such as contaminated drinking water, disappearing wetlands, and oceans under threat from overfishing and global warming. - from Amzon
