Water Planet seeks to present “an integrated picture of the role of water in everyday existence” (xi) and extends to environmental issues, the interplay between culture and water, governance, water supply, economics, power generation, equity in access, and more. Each chapter includes an overview, case studies, an annotated document, and “perspectives” that are the promised opposing viewpoints.
