Decades of practical expertise and manufacturing know-how are rapidly leaving with retiring leaders. Only by capturing that knowledge and nurturing the next generation of innovators can we shift our collective mindset to ensure the longevity this vital sector.

"Water in North American Environmental History offers twenty-five cases studies that explore the range of uses and perceptions of water throughout Canadian, Mexican, and the United States history. Water has served a myriad of purposes historically as human sustenance, agricultural irrigation, sanitation, fire protection, military defense, power generation, transportation, and much more. Water and its uses provide excellent entrée into the study of humans and the environment, not only because water is a vital resource for life, but also because water as a medium is so intimately woven into the every-day experiences of humans and into society's economic, political, and social fabric. A North American perspective is not representative of the world's water use, but it is an area with a linked history and many overlapping human and environmental features and concerns. With a continental perspective, the book explores many disparate topics without being confined to the history and experiences of just one country. The chapters are short, but descriptive, and departure points for what they tell us about the human experience in dealing with water and the environmental implications of water use.
