介绍： 当全世界连最后一滴干净的水都没了，钱还有什么意义？（2015.9上市）

关于本书：
随着社会的进步和经济的发展，工业、农业、城市的日益扩展，世界人口不断增加，导致了环境恶化，水资源被污染和浪费，不少国家都面临着水资源匮乏的问题。面对日益严重的水资源问题，我们有什么办法呢？《让水资源不再匮乏》就以以色列为例，详细介绍了解决缺水问题的种种途径和措施。凭借着日新月异的科技创新，工程师们的无私贡献和政治家们的远见卓识，终于让以色列摆脱了缺水这个难题，还成为了科学利用水资源的典范。

本书金句：
1. 在以色列的纸币和邮票上，我们也可以找到“水”的影子，面值为5谢克尔的纸币上就印着以色列最大的水利工程——国家输水系统，而很多邮票上则印着古时候的供水系统。
Water has even featured on the country’s currency and postage stamps. The five-shekel note celebrates Israel’s National Water Carrier, the country’s largest water project, while stamps commemorate ancient water systems.
2. 以前，以色列所有的农作物用的都是漫灌，这种方法非常浪费水，光是浇地就用掉了以色列70%的水，相反，滴灌技术不仅省水，还大大提高了庄稼的产量。
Before Blass’s discovery, flood irrigation was the accepted method of watering crops. With this, agriculture commanded more than 70 percent of Israel’s overall water consumption. Drip irrigation, in contrast, saves water while doubling crop output.
3. 以色列有将近三分之一的农业用水就是这种净化过的废水，一年下来，就能省下几千亿吨的水。
Using SAT systems, sewage can be used to supply a third of the water needed for agriculture. Every year in Israel, more than one hundred billion gallons of water are saved using SAT systems.
4. 犹太人化学工程师悉尼•罗卜发明了反渗透技术，用一张薄膜就能把水和盐分离开来，这种方法既经济又有效，也让以色列终于找到了一直以来梦寐以求的海水淡化技术。
Sidney Loeb, a Jewish-American chemical engineer working in Israel, developed a technique called reverse osmosis. With reverse osmosis, water is pushed through a membrane that causes pure water to move one way while salt molecules move in the opposite direction. This technology was the practical desalination solution for which Israel had been waiting.
5. 不论是跟发展中国家还是发达国家，以色列的水利技术在他们的外交中都起到了关键作用。
Water plays a central role in Israeli diplomacy, with both developing and wealthy nations.
