Making the Most of the Water We Have

by David B. Brooks & Oliver M. Brandes & Stephen Gurman

Making the Most of the Water We Have: The Soft Path Approach to Water Management, edited by David B. Brooks, Oliver M. Brandes, and Stephen Gurman. This is the 2009 first-edition Earthscan hardcover with dust jacket, ISBN 978-1-84407-754-0.

This interdisciplinary volume introduces and applies the water “soft path,” a planning approach that begins with ecological water requirements and then considers how communities, institutions, and economies can meet human needs while reducing waste. Its contributions examine policy, governance, conservation, efficient technology, and practical planning at urban, watershed, provincial, and international scales. The book includes bibliographical references, an index, and material intended for planners and other practitioners.

A separate editor email/correspondence sheet from the University of Victoria’s POLIS Project on Ecological Governance is included. It contains a handwritten message of appreciation and a signature, but the book itself is not signed and the photographed signature is not attributed here to a specific editor.

The seller grades the copy Very Good. There is minor visible edge and corner wear to the dust jacket, which is now protected in a removable clear plastic cover. The representative interior page photographed is clean, clearly readable, and free of visible markings in the area shown. The separate correspondence has horizontal fold lines. The book and enclosure will be carefully packaged to help protect them in transit.
