Siegel, lawyer, activist, and member of the Council on Foreign Relations, traces Israel's remarkable about-face from a small, water-deprived, developing country to a water powerhouse. Surprisingly readable and accessible, this is, considering there are a fair number of pages devoted to sewage, an inspiring, almost cheerful read. Siegel believes that Israel's acquired expertise can be the key to saving many other countries teetering on the brink of water disaster, and while Israel is certainly idiosyncratic in many respects, Siegel convinces the reader that its technology, social engineering, and entrepreneurial flair just might be exportable, to the benefit of everyone. Timely and thoughtful.
