One of the subjects that will soon become a very hot popular topic, and indeed already is such among the more forward thinking and ecologically minded among us, is that of the state of the planet’s supply of potable water. And very much a part of this is the topic of groundwater. But for many, acquiring a solid understanding of this topic is quite a challenge indeed. One only need begin looking for a source to improve one’s knowledge and almost immediately find oneself in the deep end of the pool.
Which is why John A. Conners’ Groundwater for the 21st Century; A Primer for Citizens of Planet Earth is a book about which interested persons should take notice. It was specifically written to “increase groundwater literacy” among a wide range of readers, and to help them understand just how important it is that we begin to pay much more close attention to what we are doing to this source of 98% of the world’s liquid fresh water and the effects these activities may have.
