Description
As a civil engineer, author Alice Outwater learned that although industry has stopped dumping toxins into the sewers, a third of our waterways have failed to rebound. Outwater takes readers on an incredible journey from the diaries of western explorers to the insides of modern wastewater treatment plants and argues that healthier, purer waterways can be created using natural, living systems.
