This surprised me because I did not think I’d care for the granular—very granular—details on waterworks and issues with water levels changing, climate change in general, and people who work the water for a living. From fishers to patrollers, to scientists, the narrative is really good at being all encompassing. There are maps and papers and things supplementing the information, which was very helpful.

It is also very overlong for a layman like me on the subject. I felt it made it’s point early and kept on going. I don’t need to be convinced of these things, as I do know, broadly, about climate change effects. So this was more supplemental than cornerstone for me, on a hyper specific issue.
