Summary: Water is already a big problem
Comment: We can know that water problem is not lying in the future but now. Especially Dead Sea basin is the source of armed conflicts over years. The Aral Sea problem shows no sighn to recover.
As previous reviewer said, this books let you blue. But it's necessary to think over the water management problem for our future.

Water is the main issue of our security in 21st century.

Summary: We are doomed to repeat the past
Comment: i bought this UN publication for research into my Masters thesis on Caspian pipelines. I was curious about the impact that such hydrocarbon exploration could have on the environment. I need not of worried the ecology of Central Asia is already beyound hope.

This book is technical yet informative - and sad to read - it reminded me of a chapter in James Critchlows book on Uzbelistan about the rape of the environment. Divided into 5 sections of which 2 focus on the Aral, and the Caspian and a third on the Dead Seas - the other 2 sections proved and introduction and a final commeentary on the role of IGOs.

There are some colour satellite image maps and photographs, useful charts and there are useful recommendations made by some contributors.

It is very useful in relation to the Caspian that until recently ecological and environmental concerns were not adequately addressed - this book is a must for any seeking a factual analysis of the water crisis that is already here. Other newer books may seek to cover topical material but this is a must for those who want regional commentary on the problem. I recommend it.
