Water scarcity is spreading and intensifying in many regions of the
world, with dire consequences for local communities, economies, and
freshwater ecosystems. Current approaches tend to rely on policies
crafted at the state or national level, which on their own have proved
insufficient to arrest water scarcity. To be durable and effective,
water plans must be informed by the culture, economics, and varied needs
of affected community members.
Chasing Water tells a cohesive story that sustainable water sharing in the twenty-first
century can only happen through open, democratic dialogue and local
collective action.
