Dry Spring: The Coming Water Crisis of North America
Told from a Canadian's perspective (which is different, might I add), this book covers major water issues in North America.
It's mostly anecdotal, talking with farmers and people agitating for change, but informative nonetheless. It does beat the Colorado River horse some more, but for the most part doesn't really stick to one example or topic forever, making the book much more readable than some other water crisis books out there.
I think the most intriguing part as an American was the Canadian perspective. A lot of the examples were from Canada, both successes and failures, which I find interesting coming from the world's most water-rich nation.
