Understanding Water and Terrorism provides a panoramic view of the threat of terrorist attacks against the US water supply.

Author H. Court Young is a geologist who has specialized in water systems for more than two decades and regularly consults on environmental cleanup projects. In his latest book, Understanding Water and Terrorism, Young provides a historical look at attacks on water, and analyzes which groups provide current threats to water supplies.

Young then provides analysis of parts of water systems, such as computer networks, that terrorists may target and looks at the infrastructure that has been developed since September 11, 2001 to protect the nation’s water supply and respond to crisis.

Young finishes the book with advice on preparedness and a look at the types of contaminating agents that would most likely be used in an attack on a water supply and how to minimize the public health impact.

Young’s book is written in plain language, designed for water professionals with all ranges of technical ability. Young is careful to weave a political and historical context into the book, to give readers a full understanding of the scope of the threat facing US water supplies.

Young’s book is available through WaterTechBooks.com for just $14.95 and can be ordered by clicking here.
