You might want to read Water Wars by Diane Raines Ward.

Thanks for the suggestion. Here's the 411:

"Water Wars: Drought, Flood, Folly and the Politics of Thirst"
by Diane Raines Ward

The classic, and still by far my favorite book on water in the West is:

"Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water"
by Marc Reisner

amazon.com

Marc was taken from us prematurely by cancer in 2000. A truly sad day for America. He'll be missed.

Another eye-opener that really exposed me to the issues of water in Iraq, Syria and Turkey is:

"Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict With a New Introduction by the Author"
by Michael T. Klare
