Water Works describes a new way of thinking about water resource development that is gradually and organically emerging in the Great Lakes Basin. It reduces costs, safeguards waterways, and strengthens the region’s economic competitiveness. The challenge and responsibility for civic and business leaders is to understand this movement and establish an atmosphere in which it can flourish.
