Description

How much freshwater is there on Earth? Can science help us use water more efficiently? The 'Why Science Matters' series demonstrates how the science we learn at school is important in every aspect of our everyday lives. Using case studies and investigations, the series describes the development of science and technologies that can improve our lives - or lead to new scientific challenges and controversies. In 'Managing and Using Water', we find out about the most vital resource on Earth and how it shapes our landscape. We learn the importance of water as a solvent, how the power of flowing water can be harnessed to provide us with energy, how drinking water is cleaned and sewage treated, and new technologies to combat water shortages around the world.

Reviews

This book discusses the importance of water, its properties, how it helps to shape our planet and the future of water. The graphs and pictures are great in this book. Students who are studying this subject would find this book useful. It also helps to explain that if we do not manage our water, it can be a devastating problem for our future. It is easy to read and the information is current. Recommended--Monica R.
