Do you worry that there is not enough water for people, the economy and environment? Do you wonder if the water in our taps and rivers is safe or polluted? Do you want to know if farmers waste water, utilities charge too much, or bottled water destroys ecosystems? You're not alone in asking questions. The headlines say "drought, pollution, conflict and insecurity," but the stories offer few solutions. Living with Water Scarcity clarifies the connections among personal and social water flows in an accessible style. It describes the origins and costs of water scarcity and explains how to address it with fair and pragmatic policies. You and your community can live with water scarcity --- just manage water as the precious resource it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars How water commodities are priced April 18th 2014
By Marilyn
The first step in solving global water issues is to grasp what Zetland has succinctly organized for us: This reality of how water commodities are priced.


5.0 out of 5 stars Cool rhetoric on a hot-button topic September 5th 2014
By Ed Dolan
Format:Paperback
Whether it’s cowboys facing off over a muddy water hole in an old Western, or the dirty looks you get if you fill your supermarket basket with bottled water, no one ever denied that people feel strongly about water. Zetland explores hot-button water issues in a refreshingly pragmatic way. There are no “-isms,” no blanket condemnations of government or capital. Zetland does care about water—he cares passionately—but he keeps his rhetoric cool while he explains how government water managers have too often failed to do their job while markets, which have worked where they have been tried, need to be used more widely.

Think of this not as a book about water, but as a parable that uses water to tell the larger story of living with scarcity. Every one of its themes has wider applications: How do we get the price right? How do we reconcile the conflicting purposes of people with very different ideas about how best to use scarce resources? What is the relationship between good government and good economics, and between human rights and property rights? How do we best balance benefits that are enjoyed privately with those that are enjoyed jointly through better communities and a better environment? Definitely worth a read.


5.0 out of 5 stars how to approach every day water challenges April 18th 2014
By robb morrow
Format:Paperback
I can say is it is a great read with unique approaches using applied economic thoughts to solve common water scenarios that we face every day! I could also say that if you find any mistakes it’s my fault ‘cause I had the burden to provide both an edit and to review the ‘proof’ copy. And for anyone living in California, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy, read it and then pass your copy to a friend! You will be glad you did.
I would also say for anyone purchase a copy of Living with Water Scarcity, that I will buy you either a pint or glass of wine at Main Street Cellars in Winters! The only catch is we will be talking on how to solve our water challenges! [...]
