Critics Review

“A seminal and comprehensive study, Water Management is exceptionally well organized and presented, making it an ideal curriculum textbook.”– “Midwest Book Review”

“With Water Management, Anisfeld has accomplished a feat that will benefit a broad audience, and hopefully the biosphere we call home….On the whole, Anisfeld’s fundamental and clearly articulated call for resilience, based on the end of stationarity and backed up by his comprehensive assessment of the field, survives any debate.”

– “Water Shelf”“Completely authoritative yet fully engaging for a broad audience, Water Management is destined to be the definitive textbook about how to sustainably manage our most precious of resources for years to come. A must read for students, practitioners, and activists.”–Alon Tal, author of ‘Making Climate Tech Work ‘“Shimon Anisfeld’s Water Management is the book I wish I had in graduate school! He takes water from the realm of engineering, where decades of technocratic decisions created a legacy of social and environmental challenges, to the real world of today. Anisfeld’s well-organized and thorough treatment of how societies manage and use water supplies, and how those management frameworks impact people and nature, is essential reading for everyone working in water and anyone considering a career in this space.”–Jennifer Pitt, Colorado River Program Director, National Audubon Society
