Rivers of Empire: Water, Aridity, and the Growth of the American West
Worster, Donald (Meyerhoff Professor of American Environmental Studies, Meyerhoff Professor of American Environmental Studies, Brandeis University)
This treatise argues that the American West serves as a testament to a dependence upon water as the "shaping force" of a region's history and development. It defines the West as a "modern hydraulic society" dependent on man-made systems of irrigation such as dams, irrigation ditches and canals.
