520    Water is one of Earths hot environmental topics. The 
       scarcity of clean drinking water will have dramatic 
       consequences for humanity in the 21st century: water 
       disputes could spark regional conflict, while increased 
       desertification and drought could affect world food 
       supplies and the future of farming. Not a Drop to Drink 
       conveys a clear message to young readers about this 
       precious commodity and our urgent need to conserve it.
