Description: "Great Lakes for Sale is a book for anyone interested in saving the Great Lakes, a giant freshwater system that contains an estimated 6 quadrillion gallons of water and about 20 percent of the world's fresh surface water. The book poses - and answers - important questions about the export and diversion of Great Lakes water. Not only does Great Lakes for Sale examine past and present water-diversion practices, it also shows readers what they can do to save this natural resource."--Jacket.
