About the Book

Dr. Robert D. Morris, an internationally recognized expert, offers an alarming warning about the natural and man-made dangers that threaten our drinking water. Through remarkable personal stories, he takes us on a journey across the globe, from the beginnings of our understanding of waterborne disease in 19th-century London, a time when the terror of cholera ravaged the world, to the disturbing realities of today's water supplies. He looks to the future and reveals that the door to disaster is not as firmly shut as we might imagine. Morris dispels our notions of fail-safe sewage and water systems and leads us through the holes that allow pathogens to find their way into our drinking water. He reveals the shocking truth about how millions of miles of leaking water mains, constantly evolving microorganisms, and the emerging threat of bioterrorism may hold the keys to catastrophe.

Review :
"A page-turning, brilliantly conceived intellectual adventure by a gifted physician and remarkable writer. A tour de force accounting of the lurking dangers of polluted waters that can only be ignored at our peril." Devra Davis, author of the National Book Award Finalist WHEN SMOKE RAN LIKE WATER" "A beautifully written book so gripping it reads like fiction, yet nothing in the text is exaggerated. Morris speaks to the probability of catastrophic microbial and viral outbreaks in our aging drinking water delivery systems, the integrity of which is protected only by 19th century technology. This book will shake the complacency of everyone who reads it." Theo Colburn, PhD, author of OUR STOLEN FUTURE
