Hailed on its first publication as a masterful account for both the general reader and student, The Science of Water continues to ask the same questions: water, water, water … water everywhere, right? In addition, it asks: the Earth’s supply of fi nite water resources can be increased constantly to meet growing demand, right? Despite these absurdities, a belief actually does prevail that the Earth’s fi nite water resources can be increased constantly to meet growing demand. History has demonstrated that consumption and waste increase in response to rising supply. However, the fact of the matter is that freshwater is a fi nite resource that can be increased only slightly through desalinization or some other practices, all at tremendous cost.
