{"product_id":"introduction-to-water-in-california-david-carle-9780520287907","title":"Introduction to Water in California","description":"This thoroughly engaging, concise book tells the story of California's most precious resource, tracing the journey of water in the state from the atmosphere to the snowpack to our faucets and foods. Along the way, we learn much about California itself as the book describes its rivers, lakes, wetlands, dams, and aqueducts and discusses the role of water in agriculture, the environment, and politics. Essential reading in a state facing the future with an overextended water supply, this fascinating book shows that, for all Californians, every drop counts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e New to this updated edition: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * Additional maps, figures, and photos \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * Expanded coverage of potential impacts to precipitation, snowpack, and water supply from climate change \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * Updated information about the struggle for water management and potential solutions \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * New content about sustainable groundwater use and regulation, desalination, water recycling, stormwater capture, and current proposals for water storage and diversion \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e *Additional table summarizing water sources for 360 California cities and towns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Carle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520287908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520287907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2017","brand":"David Carle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995551138047,"sku":"9780520287907","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_183a429f-2ad6-4aa2-9401-e0fa7c6ee998.jpg?v=1683336458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-water-in-california-david-carle-9780520287907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
