Quenching the Thirst: Sustainable Water Supply and Climate Change
George Annandale, a humanist, engineer and author, was born in South Africa; one of the most drought-stricken countries on earth.  The relentless concern about water scarcity in that country, which he endured as a child and later as an adult, left an imprint on him that resulted in devoting his entire professional career of about 40 years to water resources engineering. Currently resident in Denver, Colorado, he is a principal at an internationally renowned environmental consulting firm dedicated to engineering earth’s development in a way that concurrently preserves its integrity. Through unrelenting global travel he has worked on every continent on earth, except Antarctica; consulting to governments, private clients, non-governmental organizations, universities, development banks and aid agencies. This, his third book, is dedicated to sharing with the general public and professionals alike his insight into how climate change will affect reliable and sustainable supply of fresh water, and how to deal with the challenge. His contributions to society and the engineering profession have been recognized through listings in Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in Engineering and Science.   International Water Power and Dam Construction, a professional journal, identified him as one of twenty engineers, worldwide, that has made a significant contribution to the dam industry in the beginning of the twenty-first century.
