About the Book

Regardless of where you live, the world's water crisis is already the greatest tragedy in human history, and this is only the beginning. Catalysts such as changing weather patterns, rapidly increasing populations, contamination, scarcity, mismanagement, and corruption, all are wounds that are causing us to "bleed out," on a global scale. Even in highly developed countries like the US, literally tens of millions of people are at probable risk of running out of water within the next twenty years, and don't even know it. This book is the answer. It is possible to heal these wounds. It is possible to create new pristine water sources, virtually anywhere in the world people live. It is possible to eliminate contamination, overcome scarcity, reduce infrastructure costs, and most importantly, it is possible for people to have the ability to control their own water and future, and not depend on others for their very lives. Regardless if you are a student, homeowner, business owner, city, tribal nation, military base, architect, or engineer, there are time tested and proven solutions within this book that will teach the basic principles of water sustainability that lead to net-zero water use, and beyond. As a species, it is our absolute responsibility to act, we simply cannot afford not to, billions of lives are at stake. Sustainability begins as a mindset, we must first have critical concern for every single drop, a sustainable future begins there.
