Sort of related, a good book if you’re interested in the subject is Cadillac Desert. It’s about how water was brought to arid regions of the United States, the political and ecological aspects. I was inspired to read it when I saw pictures of how much the ground had collapsed in some areas over time as aquifers were depleted and sunk in. The American West is a disaster waiting to happen. The political aspects of that and where all that west coast produce will come from when there’s no more water to irrigate it with is something to watch out for.
I’ll have to add that to my rather long ‘to read’ list.
