This book aims to diagnose the 1987–89 drought and to draw a prognosis and prescription for the future management of climate-sensitive natural resources–management that can reduce the impacts of droughts and other climate fluctuations in United States.
This book identifies the successes and failures of 1987–89 in the U.S., through detailed case studies focused especially on the summer of 1988, and examines what this diagnosis implies for the management of future droughts and other climate fluctuations.
