The Sustainability Network, Corporate Knights and Friends of the Earth are pleased to host editor David Brooks for the launch of the new book Making the Most of the Water We Have: The Soft Path Approach to Water Management, edited by Mr. Brooks, Oliver Brandes and Stephen Gunman.

From the publisher: "Demand for water is one of the major challenges of the current century, but past approaches are no longer sufficient. Based on the "soft path" approach to the energy sector, a transition is now under way to a soft path for water. This approach starts by ensuring that ecosystem needs for water are satisfied and then undertakes a radical approach to reducing human uses of water by economic and social incentives, including open decision-making, water markets and equitable pricing, and the application of super-efficient technology, all applied in ways that avoid jeopardizing quality of life."
