| Abstract | "Water: Our Sustainable and Unsustainable Use explores our use and control of water from ancient civilisations to the present day, including what we can learn from the past to aid us with issues we are facing in the present." With the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 6 (aspiring towards "clean water and sanitation for all") being "alarmingly off-track" as of 2020, and as demand for clean and safe water only increases, Water: Our Sustainable and Unsustainable Use offers a wide scope as it informs the reader of the importance of water management"-- Provided by publisher. |
