Australia is the driest continent and thanks to the overuse and abuse of our water, we face an economic and social crisis of monumental proportions, the extent of which is revealed in this book. Now in its second print. "Watershed" was the first comprehensive book on the future challenges facing Australia in water and the tensions between the many stakeholders in our water future: farmers, businessmen, indigenous groups, consumers, greens, miners and nature itself.
