What some readers are saying about this informative book:
“This book Understanding Water
and Terrorism is an invaluable resource for any concerned citizen and especially
for members of water boards. It is chock full of useful statistics and facts and
the sources, both internet and publications, for the information reported in the
book. The inter-relationships between the water industry and the other critical
infrastructures is particularly revealing.”
Dr. Murray G. Hamilton,
Director, Rocky Mountain Center for Homeland Defense, Denver Research Institute,
University of Denver
“This book is easily
understandable for the layperson.”
Brian McCarty, Treatment
Technology, and Water treatment plant operator for Lookout Mountain Water
District
"H. Court Young has an unusual
understanding of our water system and the threat that terrorism poses to our
society in this area. He does an excellent job of explaining that threat to the
average reader and gives a good view of how our national water system works.
This is a timely subject because of all the media attention to this potential
problem. Young shows in great detail what would happen if a part of our system
was sabotaged, uses interesting charts and tables, and includes an excellent
section on how the average citizen can prepare for this problem. His
instructions are clear and easy to follow and he gives specific time limitations
to the stored items."
