Book Overview
In some parts of the United States, water is disappearing as consumption exceeds supply. In other parts, battles are raging that will determine both the cost and the quality of a simple glass of water. Not a Drop to Drink comprehensively examines the imminent crisis of America's water supply and explains what readers everywhere can do about it. In this straightforward, story-driven book, Ken Midkiff talks to crusty ranchers in Topeka, suited lawyers in Atlanta, and smooth-talking politicians in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Using regional and national case studies, he analyzes and presents the roots of the problem, and then says what we must do to solve it. Written by one of the foremost experts on America's water supply, Not a Drop to Drink is a must-read book for concerned citizens nationwide.

Book Review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I found Not a Drop to Drink to be a very interesting an informative book. If offered new facts in excess. While it was very easy to read, gave reference to geographers, and addressed the politics of water, the book lacked in several ways. I would have like to have seen more maps, diagrams, and tables to explain a lot of the information Midkiff presented. I also would have liked him to focus more on the action people could take to preserve water on a personal scale. Much of his "What You Can Do" portions of the book focused on contacting and working with government officials. The average American does not have time for such dedication but would like aid in smaller but significant ways. Overall, I think Midkiff wrote a fantastic book on the water crisis in America, but not for people uninterested in the politics behind that water.
