Annotation "In Keepers of the Spring veteran science news correspondent Fred Pearce travels the world to bring back stories from people who have drawn on ancient tradition and modern technology to deliver to their communities the water they need to survive. These "keepers" are sustaining an entire alternative tradition of working with natural flows rather than trying to reengineer nature to provide water for human needs."--BOOK JACKET.
