Do you happen to remember the name of the book? That sounds like an interesting read.

When I get home I will call my library to look up my checked out books

The library told me that our record is wiped clean when materials are returned. I was unable to find it in the online catalog and on Amazon. However, there appears to be many good titles that offer a cross-section of water problems across the US.

This post caught my attention because there were a few examples in NH that I was surprised to hear about. Essentially, really nice houses with no water underground.

A while back I read a book called The Ripple Effect (2011). It is a non-fiction book that reads like a fictional thriller that one would hope is fiction.

It's good to read the books that cover a variety of locations in the US for a thorough understanding. Knowing what happened in Flint, MI is good information. To think that the pipes themselves can give off toxins is a bit scary.

I was wondering if you had read The Water Knife, which I've been meaning to read.

Just read the description now. Yikes, I don't know if I could stomach that book because it's too close to reality!
