About This Item
([Pretoria]: Water Research Commission, 2009) 9781770057777. 268 x 210 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xxii + 377; lavishly illustrated with maps, diagrams, current and historical photographs and artwork, largely in full colour. Near-fine condition. 'The aim of this book is to provide a fresh perspective on rivers and river management in Cape Town, using the lenses of time and space. The authors "step-back" in time and track the changes that have occurred and the reasons for those changes. They also "step-back" spatially and consider the major urban catchments feeding False Bay and Table Bay as a unit, in the context of their unique geological and climatic history. This is done in the hope that lessons from the past, combined with insights from a society that has learnt much about its dependence on nature, will assist us not only in understanding where we are but, more importantly, in plotting a better path into the future.' .
