520 . ‡a"Water scarcity is on everyone's mind. But as anxiety mounts--even as a swath of California farmland has been left fallow and extremist groups worldwide exploit the desperation of people losing livelihoods to desertification--many are finding new routes to water security, with key implications for food access, economic resilience, and climate change. In this timely, important book, Judith D. Schwartz presents a refreshing perspective on water that transcends zero-sum thinking. By allying with the water cycle, we can revive lush, productive landscapes. Like the river in rural Zimbabwe that, thanks to restorative grazing, now flows a kilometer further than in living memory. Or the food forest of oranges, pomegranates, and native fruit-bearing plants in Tucson, grown through harvesting urban wastewater. Or the mini-oasis in West Texas nourished by dew. Animated by stories from around the globe, Water in Plain Sight is an inspiring reminder that fixing the future of our drying planet involves understanding what makes natural systems thrive."--Dust jacket.
