In two earlier occasions I have suggested water‐related books that I think all water professionals should read. And now, I am excited to offer my third edition of recommendations. This time I am recommending a novel based on actual water events that reads like a thrilling, implausible, man‐versus‐water's‐power adventure. My other recommendation is a fictional novel that paints a plausible and bleak water future full of battles for water, power, and survival. The connection is that the Colorado River is the lead character in both novels. The Emerald Mile: The Epic Story of the Fastest Ride in History Through the Heart of the Grand Canyon, by Kevin Fedarko. In contrast, the second book is The Water Knife, by Paulo Bacigalupi.
