dharmathroughkarma asked: Do you think in the next few decades we will face some sort of global water crisis? Do you know where I can read more on this? (preferably books or in-depth articles)

Hey shocking euphoria! 

Thanks for your note. Yeah, check out research from UNESCO-IHE.

I did a great project with them in the Netherlands this past spring. They’re the world experts on water security and policy issues. Dig around the site, there are many links to partner orgs that do good research on exactly the issue you bring up.

If you really want to dork out, check out the solid book, Water Security: Conflicts, Threats, Policies. If you dare to go heavy, check out: Coastal and Ocean Law, Coastal Management in a Nutshell (excellent!), and/or Coastal Pollution: Effects on Living Resources and Humans.

Let me know if these work…

Cheers!
