by Rebecca Walker — August 6, 2010—Jerry Yudelson’s latest book, Dry Run, zeroes in on water shortages in the urban environment. The book draws from the expertise of more than 25 water researchers and industry experts to come up with solutions for upcoming water crises.
Fresh water shortages are an increasingly serious global problem. With water restrictions emerging in many developed countries and water diversions for industrial, urban and environmental reasons stirring up oceans of controversy, there is a growing thirst for innovative approaches to reducing our water footprint.
Examining the vital linkages between water, energy use, urban development and climate change, Dry Run demonstrates best practices for achieving “net zero” water use in the built environment. It is ideal for building managers, homeowners, architects, engineers, developers, urban planners and public officials, says New Society Publishers.
