"Cadillac Desert" by Marc Reisner

From the Paper:

"Introduction
This research will examine Marc Reisner's Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water. The research will set forth the political, historical, and economic context for Reisner's examination of water-related development and usage and then discuss the strategy Reisner uses to develop his ideas about the dire consequences to the West's economic and social infrastructure of continuing to exploit and pollute its nonrenewable water resources in the same way as in the past. The combination of poor water management, overdrawing of ground water from the major western aquifers, and a more general attitude that the resource would always be available has created a crisis whose consequences have not been sufficiently understood either by policy makers or by the American population as a whole."
