This is a very well researched book which first of all explains where we are now with regard to water shortages in the world and then goes on to place us in our current context in an historical perpective.

Whether climate is changing currently due to man made pressures or not the globe has been through large weather, water and heat cycles over the millennia. Using data from the past this book projects forward to give us an idea of where we are going.

Finally, the book points out ways the authors feel that an investor could profit from the coming water - and indeed global resource - shortage.

Well written and deserving of 5 stars (in my humble opinion)

Horrible waste of money. These fellows know nothing about the subject and try to push the idea of 70 and 500 year "cycles" as if the current anthropogenic global warming has nothing to do with our increasingly severe droughts and floods. Have a look at their credentials -- these are not scientists. They're both conservative businessmen. Listen to their interview with Jim Puplava and you'll have a good idea of what I mean. If you are really interested in this subject, get When the Rivers Run Dry: Water--The Defining Crisis of the Twenty-first Century. Now that's a good book.
