Un regard objectif sur l'approvisionnement en eau rapide de l'Amérique
Autrefois considéré comme un problème limité au sud-ouest de l'Amérique, les pénuries d'eau sont maintenant un problème d'un océan à l'autre, de la Nouvelle-Angleterre à la Californie. Dans Aqua Shock : The Water Crisis in America, auteur Susan J. Marks fournit une analyse complète des conflits actuels liés à la diminution de l'approvisionnement en eau. Elle présente les résultats des études universitaires, des groupes de réflexion et des groupes de recherche, ainsi que les opinions d'experts en eau, y compris Peter Gleick, président de l'Institut Pacifique d'études sur le développement, l'environnement et la sécurité. Le livre

America′s Dwindling Resource
"We must shift from business as usual to a plan of action to save out environment. As Aqua Shock details, that means water conservation, recycling, reuse, and rethinking how and where we use water today. We can do it, but time is not on our side. We must act now before it′s too late."
Lester Brown, President, Earth Policy Institute
"Susan J. Marks brings to our attention the dire straits that America faces and will continue to face because of water shortages and pollution of existing sources. It is time that the American public awoke to these conditions and took steps, however costly, to change them. Aqua Shock helps achieve this goal."
Joel A. Tarr, Richard S. Caliguiri Universtiy Professor of History and Policy, Carnegie Mellon University
"With Aqua Shock, Susan J. Marks has delivered a highly readable and tremendously informative account of what she quite rightly calls America′s water crisis. Marks not only spells out in rich detail how and why we as a country find ourselves in the present predicament, but also how we can emerge from it and satisfy our thirst for water in a safe and sane manner."
Ronald F. Poltak, 2006 EPA Lifetime Achievement Award Winner, and Executive Director, New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission
Water is the new oil a precious and diminishing natural resource, one ultimately far more important and far less replaceable. Aqua Shock is a lucid examination of how America arrived at this crisis point. Susan J. Marks focuses on the most pressing issues: who controls the water, what risks loom, and how we can preserve and protect our most undervalued resource.

The book
Right now, battles over water supplies rage across the country. Aqua Shock is an objective look at how we arrived at this crisis point and what we can do–and should be doing–to solve the water crisis in America.
