The Dreamt Land by Mark Arax

Arax has created an intensely detailed account of the history of water in California over the last few decades. During his travels across the Golden State, he delves into the complexity of water usage and details the immense efforts it takes to keep up with ever-expanding cities and agriculture. This reflective piece of writing is an impressive combination of policy, history, and memoir.
