Reviews
“But in reality, their importance is disproportionate to this apparent lack of acknowledgement. Consider just a few of the many uses to which they are, or have been, put: a source of drinking water for man and beast; recreation; transportation; and hydroelectric power. For all their potential for destructive force, rivers – kept reasonably free of pollution – serve an indefinitely greater purpose for positive exploitation.”
