Understanding Water and Terrorism

 

Dedicated to my fellow Americans and Water Providers and Utility workers across the United States.

In Memory of September 11, 2001 

 

Understanding Water and Terrorism, is a book that provides a complete overview of the potential threat to the United States public water supply. It provides information in a clear, organized, non-technical, straightforward manner.

This book will help you to prepare for an emergency water supply disruption so that you are better able to protect your community, your family and yourself.

According to J. Edgar Hoover, former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director:

“Among public utilities, water supply facilities offer a particularly vulnerable point of attack….”

It is critical for all of us, as citizens, to know where our water supply comes from and where and how it is vulnerable to disruption or enemy attack.

The chapters include:

• Water as a Weapon

• Terrorism

• The Terrorists

• Homeland Security

• The Responders and Responding Agencies

• Countering Terrorism of Water Supplies

• Being Prepared

• The Bioterrorism Act

• The USA Patriot Act

• EPA Instructions to Community Water Systems

• Many Internet Resources for Terrorism

Our water supply is critical to our quality and way  of life, and without it our society will fail.

What others are saying

“A resource for anyone who wants to help protect our country and our families!”

Writer’s Digest Review – March 2004

“H. Court Young has an unusual understanding of our water system and the threat that terrorism poses to our society in that area. He does an excellent job of explaining that threat to the average reader and gives a good view of how our national water system works.”

As Dr. Murray G. Hamilton, Director, Rocky Mountain Center for Homeland Defense, Denver Research Institute, University of Denver says:

“This book Understanding Water and Terrorism is an invaluable resource for any concerned citizen and especially for members of water boards. It is chock full of useful statistics and facts and the sources, both internet and publications, for the information reported in the book. The inter-relationships between the water industry and the other critical infrastructures is particularly revealing.”
