Water, Wit and Wisdom/ the search for solutions to the water crisis
Colin Austin
This book takes a step back looking at the 'way' we think rather than 'what' we think about water. The first part of the book is really examining the process of innovative thinking needed to escape from the traditional water conflickts. The second part redefines the water crisis showing how Australia can make far better use of the available water by adopting a holistic way of thinking. The third part is about technology, how flood irrigation can be made more efficient, how we can control irrigation depth to avoid waste and how we can manage salinity. The fourth part looks at the problems of adoption and how the competitive pressures on water from the different competing users of water can be reconciled into a common plan for the benefit of the community as a whole.
