The Big Thirst

The book sheds light on water’s secret life and turbulent future, but I'm curious what motivated the author to explore this topic now and how he chose which stories to highlight.

The book connects so many issues—droughts, pollution, infrastructure—that I wonder if others felt the scale was almost too much to process at once.

The book traces water history back centuries; I’m interested in whether understanding these roots changes how readers see modern water struggles.
