“This book is concerned primarily with the importance and origin of the wealth of water on land. Its ambition is to change the current practice of draining water from large areas of land, a process caused by deforestation, agricultural activities and the sluicing of rainwater out of cities. […] The panel of authors, who all come from an environment of nongovernmental organizations, offer this book to anyone involved with water and its management as well as to public sector institutions and private investors, and more or less every single citizen of our planet.”
