Navigating Rough Waters - Ethical Issues in the Water Industry (Hardcover)

Navigating Rough Waters: Ethical Issues in the Water Industry takes the first in-depth look at ethical dilemmas in the water supply industry. In co-author Cheryl Davis' introduction, she states, 'In recent decades the issues water professionals must face have broadened to include political, legal, environmental management, human relations, and public education concerns. In a whole host of arenas - issues ranging from water quality and water rights to employee health and safety - there is no one right answer. Sometimes an issue has so many faces that it is hard to determine the real question. It's the importance of water, the lifeblood of the universe, that makes it a subject of not only technical but also ethical concern and makes our dilemmas worthy of discussion.' the authors offer an array of practical tools to help those in the industry clarify ethical judgments and make sense of the ethical dimension of contentious water-related issues.
