Robert Glennon, author of Water Follies and Unquenchable, will be on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart this coming Thursday, July 16th. He will talk to a national audience of over 1.5 million and bring urgent attention to the national water crisis. As someone concerned with water issues and who has worked with Robert Glennon, I'm excited to pass on this news.
Robert Glennon is one of the foremost experts on freshwater resources. In Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It, Glennon captures the tragedy--and irony--of water in America, revealing the heady extravagances and everyday waste that are sucking the nation dry. He argues that we cannot engineer our way out of the problem with the usual fixes. America must make hard choices--and Glennon's answer is a provocative market-based system that values water as a commodity and a fundamental human right.
I hope you will tune in to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Thursday, July 16 at 11PM EST or for the rebroadcast at 8PM EST Friday.
