Rating: - A gem for water studies
This is the first time I have seen "The World's Water" a bienniall report on the state of the planet's freshwaters and I have found what a gem of information it is.
The individual essays on concrete aspects of freshwater in the world today refer to matters that are critical and current. The tables and statistics at the end of the book are up to date references that are extremely useful to gauge the state of freshwater use and abuse in all regions of the world, an unvaluable resource for local activism anywhere in our planet.
Simply put, an indispensable book for anyone with interest in freshwater.

Rating: - The latest information on this topic - a must have
A readable survey of the current thinking on water resources. Especially valuable is the detailed index provided to past volumes, which are not at all redundant to the current volume.
