Beschreibung

Reviving lost wetlands is vital to the long-term health of human communities and the waters that sustain them. The Marsh Builders interweaves the tale of a citizen uprising against conventional sewage treatment with the history of water pollution and the emerging scientific understanding of wetlands as effective natural filters for tainted water.
