Here is a great list of books on Water Conservation and Science for all ages at this site.
‘Water Voices from Around The World’ is the only book published in conjunction with the UN’s international decade of water.
Each of the 77 authors in this book presents unique water knowledge from around the globe. These authors represent every walk of life, and include recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize, the Stockholm Water Prize, and the Heinz Environmental Award.
Three years in the making, ‘Water Voices’ is an oversized hardcover tabletop book that contains 230 pages and 400 color photographs – many with informative captions.
‘Water Voices’ gives us a visual journey into the esoteric and mystical worlds of water, while the letters and articles present guidance, new insights, and unique research about this universally rare and precious entity.
Dear Water Friend, Thank you for your website; I arrived here through the title of Ms. Royte’s new book on water. I am a “water activist,” is that is the term, and a group of us are currently fighting Nestle/Poland Spring re: large scale water extraction.
A fantastic compilation of water books, thanks for putting this together.
I’d like to add one more if I may: our recently published free book “The Green Living Guide to Home Water Conservation” that can be found at http://bluelivingideas.com/subscribe/register-green-living-guide-home-water-conservation/
Best,

Since you already have Robert Glennon’s Water Follies on the list I’d like to suggest adding Glennon’s Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What To Do About It http://rglennon.com/books/unquenchable/books/unquenchable to be added to your list. It was released earlier this year.
