Sandra Postel opens her 2017 book, Replenish: The Virtuous
Cycle of Water and Prosperity, by arguing that large
dams, diversion canals, flood-control levees, and other feats of
engineering have brought enormous prosperity to the world, but they
have also broken the natural water cycle—the way natural systems move, store,
and cleanse water.

On Friday, November 8, as this
year's Albert E. Utton Memorial Water Lecture speaker, Postel will
address the luncheon audience at the 64th Annual New Mexico Water
Conference to demonstrate how farmers, cities, conservationists, and
engineers across the US and around the world are showing that with
innovation and collaboration, we can re-shape 21st century water
management to meet the challenges ahead.

Nothing is more important to life
than water, and no one knows water better than Sandra Postel.
"Replenish" is a wise, sobering, but ultimately hopeful
book.

Unnatural History
