High and Dry: Meeting the Challenges of the World’s Growing Dependence on Groundwater
Bill Alley, National Ground Water Association (NGWA) Science Director, and his wife, science writer Rosemarie Alley, have teamed up on the new book, High and Dry: Meeting the Challenges of the World’s Growing Dependence on Groundwater, published by Yale University Press. A first-of-its kind for a broad audience, the book draws on examples from around the world to examine groundwater in an engaging narrative format. Arizona’s groundwater features prominently in the book, which includes stories of people who are making a difference in protecting this critical resource.
“Imagine a book about groundwater that reads like a novel, and is overflowing with interesting and essential knowledge about a much-neglected topic. This is the book,” writes Bruce Babbitt, former Secretary of the Interior (and Arizona Governor).
High and Dry is available at Amazon, Yale University Press, and other outlets. The Alley’s previously coauthored Too Hot to Touch on the science and politics of nuclear waste.
