Synopsis
Excerpt from Little Waters: A Study of Headwater Streams Other Little Waters, Their Use and Relations to the Land
Many believe that another century of present trends would leave the United States unable to maintain the agriculture on which her civilization rests; that the United States is not a permanent country, and is on the way to join decadent parts of China and Asia Minor, once Opulent and magnificent, but now stripped of their fertile soils and buried in the dust of destructive exploitation of resources; that if something effective is not done within a generation, it will be too late over numerous large areas, for this earth disease, like some human diseases, can never be cured if neglected during the early stages.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the consequences of human interference on the natural flow and absorption of water systems. The author traces how we have disturbed the harmonious relationship between water, soil, and vegetation, which has endangered the very resources that sustain us. Beginning with a look at the natural water cycle, the book examines the impacts of deforestation, agriculture, and drainage, emphasizing the insidious effects these actions have had on topsoil erosion, water pollution, and declining wildlife populations. The author argues that while we have gained a temporary economic advantage from these practices, we have done so at the expense of the long-term health and prosperity of both the environment and society as a whole. Offering insights into the historical context and thematic depth of water conservation, this book underscores the crucial need to re-establish a balance between human activity and the natural world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330743744_0
