Professionals who deal with managing water in a variety of fields share personal experiences with young people who are starting or are about to start their college education and have yet to decide what disciplines or subjects to study. The goal is to convince these students to consider preparing themselves to face the challenges, surprises, and satisfactions of providing adequate, reliable, and clean water supplies. Their accounts are in geographical sections: Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Americas, and international organizations. Among the topics are water from the desert in Libya, peace talks on water in the Middle East, developing drainage during droughts, lessons learned from western movies and television shows, and changing the terms of discourse in world water debates.
