Water 4.0: The Past, Present, and Future of the World’s Most Vital Resource
"Sedlak... has contributed a gem to the growing shelf of books on the emerging crisis surrounding water... An erudite romp through two millennia of water and sanitation practice and technology." -Nature (2014-01-16)"With the turn of a tap, clean water flows  out. . . . It all seems so simple and obvious. And yet, as UC Berkeley Professor David Sedlak explains in his fact-packed new book, Water 4.0, such conveniences are really a marvel of engineering, built on centuries  of trial and (often) error. More improvements are urgently needed as new challenges like climate change loom. So Sedlak's effort to engage the public on this oft-neglected subject is welcome."-Kate Galbraith, The San Francisco Chronicle (2014-02-21)
