Books Section B • Page 7 The University Daliv Kansen Global issues not diluted in Water Voted #1 by Students 622 W. 12 $ ^{th} $ St. ·749-3900 By Michael Newman Kansan book critic The inspiration for the 1974 film Chinatown was the power, intrigue and incest stemming from Los Angeles and its interminable quest to water the millions and millionaires that flock to its concrete sprawl. But as precocious as Chinatown may have been in its view of water imperialism, its account of Los Angeles' ruthless takeover of the Owens Valley is only one episode in an issue that may be shaping this century's world order, as Marq de Villier's new book, Water: The Fate of Our Most Precious Resource, points out. Ismail Serageldin, the World Bank's vice president for environmental affairs and chairman of the World Water Commission, has flatly said, "The wars of the 21st century will be fought over water." Secretary General Boutros- Boutros Ghall and the late King Hussein of Jordan. Even in the United States, states sanctioned guns have been leveled rather than water. In 1944, former governor of Arizona Benjamin Mouer dispatched the Arizona National Guard to the construction site of the Parker Dam to stop "California's theft of Arizona's water." Twenty-three years later and half a world away, Israel gave early warning of the 1968 War by bombing unfinished waterworks in Syria that were deemed a threat to Israeli national security. Farther east, China struggles to complete the Three Gorges Dam, which it hopes will relieve its water shortages in the north and its flood problems in the south. Whatever the hopes, the stakes are high, as Lester Brown points out in Who Will Feed China. Unless China can find a way to water the increasing agricultural needs of an expanding population, not the rest of the world's agricultural surpluses combined How can a single book relate a worldwide problem without resorting to the monotony of a never-ending dirge? How can a western journalist spin the water issue fairly for both his watergreedy developed country and the water-needy developing nations? How can a political animal weave an objective path through the transnational water disputes that include nations of all ideologies and creeds? will feed China. The itany continue, which is exactly the problem that de Villiers faces in his book. De Villiers somehow manages, but he falters at times. In the first half of the book, his generally evocative prose makes up for a small propensity to lapse into the same "... callous disregard for anything but narrow-focused abstract principle" for which he faults the state planners of the former U.S.R.S. But later in the book, he expands his focus as he finds and relates the real meaning of his book. This meaning is most clearly seen when he reviews the hopeful politics surrounding the Danube River, and it becomes explicit when he quotes Bertram Mueller, a hydrologist for the International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine as saying "We mustn't ever forget that political will, in the service of an informed and aroused citizenry, can still move the world. Even now, facing ecological catastrophe, we must remember that." With quotations such as this, de Villiers informs and arouses. He makes the reader remember. Except for some circuitous beginnings and a few common sense errors in his own scientific musings, de Villiers has written a book that explains water in a global sense. He provides a broader view of water issues than previous books have, and he outlines possible solutions in a way that inspires hope but still fosters awareness and vigilance.
