Reviews
Although A Thirsty Land is Texas-based, it raises questions about water as a resource and commodity that fits any location; questions we should all be considering regardless of where we live and the prodigiousness of our local water resources., Interviewing both scientific experts and everyday water users, [McGraw] clearly delineates the competing interests, describes political and geological reality, and makes a compelling argument for statewide water policy that utilizes modern technology and fairly weighs parochial needs against the good of the whole., A Thirsty Land tells a compelling and important story not just about the state's water history, but also about its social, economic, and political identity., A reporting tour de force and reminiscent of Cadillac Desert , the 1986 book by Marc Reisner that is required reading for anyone seeking to understand water policy in the West. McGraw's work is similarly nuanced, thoroughly researched and beautifully written. . . McGraw showcases a deep understanding of Texas law, history and culture. There's a desire not just to explain where we stand now, but how we got here., McGraw's book proves that the United States simply isn't ready for the next big drought or flood. This is a problem that's been brewing for a long time, and climate change is about to make it worse.¬+ Gulp., McGraw's book proves that the United States simply isn't ready for the next big drought or flood.
