WHEN THE RIVERS RUN DRY -- WATER SOLUTIONS FOR A THIRSTY PLANET
Water is the declining and under-valued resource of our time... everyone needs to know what is in this book.
-- Clark Brockman, AIA, Director of Sustainability Resources, SERA Architects...a must-read for water resource planners and water conservation professionals.
-- Bill Hoffman, PE, H.W. (Bill) Hoffman & Associates
A fresh, safe water supply is essential to all aspects of civilization, including agriculture, manufacturing, energy production and public health. Fresh water shortages are an increasingly serious global problem, creating a growing thirst for innovative approaches to reducing our water footprint.
Dry Run explains water issues and shows the best solutions for managing water scarcity and handling upcoming urban water crises. Examining the vital linkages between water, energy use, urban development and climate change, this comprehensive resource demonstrates best practices for achieving "net zero" water use in the built environment, including:
- water conservation strategies for buildings, factories, cities and homes
- rainwater harvesting, graywater use and water reclamation systems
- water efficiency retrofits
- onsite sewage treatment
- new water reuse and supply technologies.
Ideal for concerned citizens, building managers, homeowners, architects, engineers, developers and public officials faced with charting a course into a more arid future, Dry Run overflows with practical solutions.
Jerry Yudelson's Dry Run is an urgently needed manifesto...[and] an imperative for immediate action.
-- Gail Vittori, Co-Director, Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems
