This natural history guide tells the story of California’s water. It traces the journey of water in the state from the atmosphere to the snowpack, faucets, and foods. Written by a California State Park ranger, it features 137 color photographs, 27 color maps, and a table “Where Does Your Water Come From?” for 315 California cities and towns. It provides up-to-date information on water quality in California, including discussions of Giardia, groundwater contamination, fluoride, and the bottled-water phenomenon. The book may be purchased from the University of California Press.
