Water: a Natural History
Alice B. Outwater
This history shows how human-engineered dams, canals and farms in the US replaced nature's beaver dams, prairie dog tunnels, and buffalo wallows. The author argues that while engineering can depollute water, only ecologically interacting systems can create healthy waterways.
