In the middle of the Mojave Desert, Las Vegas casinos use billions
of gallons of water for fountains, pirate lagoons, wave machines, and indoor
canals. Meanwhile, the town of Orme, Tennessee, must truck in water from
Alabama because it has literally run out. Robert Glennon captures the irony
and tragedy of America’s water crisis in a book that is both frightening and
wickedly comical. From manufactured snow for tourists in Atlanta to
trillions of gallons of water flushed down the toilet each year,
Unquenchable reveals the heady extravagances and everyday inefficiencies
that are sucking the nation dry.
