Water professionals often publish and present their technical knowledge in journals and at conferences, yet they rarely have the opportunity to share their personal stories with the industry. In this unique book, environmental scientist Gary A. Burlingame does just that. He shares his journey into the sensory world of water. All profits are being donated to the AWWA Water Equation Campaign.

"A fascinating expedition into the chemistry, ecology, tastes, odors, sights, and sounds of water." — Andrea Dietrich, PhD, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Virginia Tech.

"The book reads like a detective thriller—and includes both historical references and personal experiences—describing in understandable language the science involved in determining the causes of taste and odor in drinking water." — Jennifer L. Clancy, PhD, M.S. Law, Chief Scientist, Corona Environmental Consulting, LLC.
