Praise for Water Management: Prioritizing Justice and Sustainability

“With an even hand and staggering range of knowledge—across time, beyond borders, and deep into every conceivable facet of contemporary water policy—Anisfeld’s book slakes a student’s thirst to know more and challenges established practitioners to re-engage what they thought they knew, anew. A stunning achievement.”                     
  Laurel Firestone, California State Water Board Member & Co-founder of Community Water Center

“Shimon Anisfeld has written the water law and policy book we need. Centering justice and sustainability, he leads us through the challenges of water availability, quality, and governance. He also recognizes that private and public decision making will be critical to our water future. I could not recommend this book more highly for the novice or the expert; it is beautifully written with ample visual aids that will make it easily accessible for all.”
  Gerald Torres, Professor of Environmental Justice and Professor of Law, Yale University

“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

“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

“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.”
