"Shimon Anisfeld’s Water Management is the book I wish I had in graduate school! He takes water from the realm of engineering, where decades of technocratic decisions created a legacy of social and environmental challenges, to the real world of today. Anisfeld’s well-organized and thorough treatment of how societies manage and use water supplies, and how those management frameworks impact people and nature, is essential reading for everyone working in water and anyone considering a career in this space."
