Synopsis

L'eau douce est essentielle à la fois à la population humaine en constante expansion et aux paysages naturels toujours menacés qui nous entourent. Et pourtant, la société semble ignorer continuellement la nécessité d'une approche de bon sens et de l'appréciation de nos ressources en eau douce et de notre consommation de cette substance remarquable et vivifiante qui dépasse désormais sa disponibilité future.

Ce travail révolutionnaire et accessible, réalisé par deux des experts canadiens les plus réputés en matière d'eau, redéfinit notre relation avec l'eau douce et décrit les mesures que nous devrons prendre en tant que société si nous voulons assurer la durabilité de notre approvisionnement en eau pour les générations futures.
