Solidly grounded in scientific fact and historical and environmental realities, Water Quality and Availability offers a sobering look at the state of our water supply, the factors that threaten its purity, government regulations designed to preserve and protect it, and how current water shortages are affecting the lifestyle and livelihoods of thousands of Americans. While not promising any easy answers, the book provides solid, useful information that can serve as a foundation for decision making, further research, or simply enhanced understanding of this critical resource.

Water is abundant in Pennsylvania and at the present time the supply is adequate for all needs. With an abundance of water around, it may be difficult to understand that a crisis can be developing. This text is a comprehensive review of Pennsylvania's water resources, and the qualities and challenges of the systems are discussed in several chapters, as well as discussing possible solutions to preemptively act against this looming issue.

The culture and economy of Pennsylvania have been developing for more than 300 years. As a consequence, human activities have evolved from those based on primary occupations in the eighteenth century to the manufacturing economy of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to the tertiary functions of the late twentieth century. With each major change in economic structure the geographic patterns also changed. The Geography of Pennsylvania charts those changes and provides a spatial analysis of each key geographic function taking place in the state. This book will be an indispensable reference for those who want to understand the factors that shaped Pennsylvania into the dynamic society it is today.
