One Well: The Story of Water on Earth (Rochelle Strauss)

Summary: Seen from space, our planet looks blue.  This is because almost 70 percent of Earth's surface is covered with water.  Earth is the only planet with liquid water--and therefore the only planet that can support life.  

All water is connected.  Every raindrop, lake, underground river, and glacier is part of a single global well.

Water has the power to change everything--a single splash can sprout a seed, quench a thirst, provide a habitat, generate energy, and sustain life.  How we treat the water in the well will affect every species on the planet, now and for years to come.  (from amazon.com)
