WHEN THE WORLD RUNS DRY - Nancy F. Castaldo

4 stars

Our planet's resources are finite, including arguably the most important one: the water. 
Explained in engaging snapshots and covering several different environmental topics related to water and its use, misuse, and conservation, this book is a must-read for our younger audiences. (And us adults, too!)

Concepts: ★★★★★
Readability: ★★★★★
Pacing: ★★★

When the World Runs Dry: Earth's Water in Crisis is the kind of nonfiction read that I hope gets taught in schools. Because I, a fully grown adult with basic knowledge of our water troubles, learned way too much information for the first time.

I feel like we all should be well versed in the global situation of water. We need it to survive, it keeps everything alive, and yet... some of us remain ignorant of its journey and struggles in the current state of our Earth.

Tailored to younger readers, this slim book had a TON of information processed in easy-to-digest bites. A little bit on the Flint water crisis and its implications in Michigan, USA. A little bit on the history and harms of fracking. A little bit on harmful red algae. A little bit on dry wells. A little bit on a lot of things, told in an accessible and informative way.

I certainly learned a lot, and I appreciated the author for her time spent on dosing it down to the entry point level for a lot of very complicated topics.

We only have so much water, y'all...

A powerful read to absorb on this Earth Day. I recommend for all!

Thank you to the publisher for my copy in exchange for an honest review.
