When the rivers run drywater solutions for a thirsty planet.
In the Age of Scarcity now upon us, fresh water shortages are an increasingly serious global problem. With water restrictions emerging in many developed countries and water diversions for industrial, urban, and environmental reasons stirring up oceans of controversy, there is a growing thirst for innovative approaches to reducing our water footprint.
Dry Run shows the best ways to manage scarce water resources and handle upcoming urban water crises. Featuring original interviews with more than twenty-five water researchers and industry experts, this book explains water issues and proposes solutions for homes, buildings, facilities, and schools. Examining the vital linkages between water, energy use, urban development, and climate change, Dry Run demonstrates best practices for achieving net zero water use in the built environment, including:
Ideal for concerned citizens, building managers, homeowners, architects, engineers, developers, and public officials faced with charting a course in a more arid future, Dry Run overflows with practical solutions.

I cant emphasize enough how important it is that people read this book... not just some people ALL PEOPLE. Water is the declining and undervalued resource of our time, and in 5 years well all be wondering why we took so long to realize that waters value to us as human beings will far outstrip our current worries and hand-wringing about oil. We are not 70% oil, we are 70% water. Jerrys book is the right message and the essential reference guide for us to accelerate this idea and this awareness in this time of profound transformation and change everyone needs to know what is in this book.

Jerry Yudelsons Dry Run is an urgently needed manifesto. It makes a compelling case to shift from a pattern of careless water dependencies to strategic alignment with water cycles and balance, and is an imperative for immediate action.

This book is the best summary of a comprehensive overall coverage of the entire urban water crisis context I have seen yet. Read it whether you are planning for water, managing it or using it. You will understand why water will be the gold of the 21st century and what you can do to help avoid the crisis, mitigate or generate new business.

Clear as water should be is the message of this book. A serious topic is presented in a manner to make you curious, not anxious. It is possible to run through the books pages in a hurry and anyway get the good impression that we can (still turn the problem to the good). It is also possible to take more time and stay with one aspect in one of the chapters and find information and unknown details like exploring deep water area in nature. Excellent figures make this book being an appetizer to join the group of active planning people, introduced by interviews. Nice to see by the presented examples, that people (let us call them colleagues) around the world already started in a common sense to prevent the next Urban Water Crisis, by using their skills, their brain and their heart at the same time.

Urban water utilities have long prided themselves on quietly providing reliable water at affordable prices. As a result, theres limited awareness about the challenges of providing water to ever-growing populations. Yudelson strips away complacency with a sobering look at the past, present and future challenges to our water supply. Yudelson shares his sustainable design and construction expertise to explain practical concepts for reducing our water footprint without compromising our standard of living. Whether youre a green-living novice or a seasoned professional, youll find Dry Run enlightening.

Setting the bar for new developments in our cities and towns is of utmost importance to ensuring a sustainable water supply for future generations. Dry Run truly hits the spot when it comes to water conservation in the Arid Southwest.
Tucson City Council
Dry Run is a matter-of-fact book with evidence that screams Urban Water Crisis. It clearly outlines why we need to use existing attempts to respond to water shortages in other countries as well as parts of our own country that are already starting to feel the effects of low water supplies as a dry run for dealing with the looming Urban Water Crisis. A grounded effort to speed our vital response.
Design for Water: Rainwater Harvesting,
Stormwater Catchment and
Alternate Water Reuse
An outstanding book covering todays very significant concerns over water availability and use in North America. Very importantly, though, Jerry also gives us an all-encompassing picture of solutions to these concerns in the form of 21st century products, technologies, and practices that can definitely lead to water sustainability. I highly recommend this book for both the new practitioner in the field of water use efficiency
