In the developed world, if you want a drink of water you just turn on a tap or open a bottle. But for millions of families worldwide, finding clean water is a daily challenge, and kids are often the ones responsible for carrying water to their homes. Every Last Drop looks at why the world’s water resources are at risk and how communities around the world are finding innovative ways to quench their thirst and water their crops. Maybe you’re not ready to drink fog, as they do in Chile, or use water made from treated sewage, but you can get a low-flush toilet, plant a tree, protect a wetland or just take shorter showers. Every last drop counts!

Every Last Drop: Bringing Clean Water Home (Orca Footprints), by Michelle Mulder From School Library Journal Gr 4–6—Mulder's latest addition to her solid repertoire of environmentally conscious books addresses the crises (pollution, shortages, etc.) of the global water supply. Her conversational style keeps the material from being too clinical or gloom-and-doom, without ever seeming superficial. Ideal for reports, the book is packed with great information on everything from the way civilizations have collected and used water throughout history, sobering assessments of the present and future availability of clean water, and intriguing solutions already employed, such as fog catchers, or that are still in their experimental stages. Worthwhile factoids, sidebars, and interesting photographs accompanied by instructive captions add to the abundance of meaningful material. Mulder is honest about the emergency unfolding around this precious resource, and though the situation is fairly dire, she empowers her readers by offering feasible suggestions that individuals can use to improve things. And like raindrops falling into a collection barrel, each and every single conscientious action adds up. An excellent resource on the topic.—Alyson Low, Fayetteville Public Library, AR
From Booklist As with her previous titles about sustainable transportation and energy, Mulder begins this book by relating her personal experience with the topic, including a severe illness after drinking contaminated water in Peru. She then looks at the management of clean water and sewage throughout history, from the earliest wells in Cyprus to the Minoans’ first flush toilets (unfortunately forgotten when they were conquered by the Mycenaeans). Other loosely related chapters examine how clean water is delivered to North American homes; natural ways, such as wetlands, that the environment cleans water; and global innovations to collect fresh water and remove microbes, poisons, and salt. Young people will be amazed by the global initiatives: filtering arsenic-contaminated water in Bangladesh with iron nails, harvesting fog to gather fresh water in Chile, and more. Catchy “Go with the Flow” headings, startling water facts, and color photos of children collecting and conserving water around the world make this high-interest reading. Grades 4-7. --Angela Leeper

(Librarian's Quest blog 2015-02-18)"Through accessible language, this text supports environmental and ecological inquiries while also raising awareness about global initiatives." (The Dragon Lode 2015-04-01)"An intriguing juncture of archeology and architecture with ecology…Innovative and upbeat, Mulder avoids the doom-and-gloom that besets studies of natural resources by celebrating the role of water in everyday activity and fun.” (VOYA 2015-08-01)

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Well written for the intended audience - clear central ideas and idea development By Sunday Cummins Very well written for the intended audience (4th-7th grade). Clear central ideas that are well developed. I read this in one sitting - not because it was gripping, but because it was intensely interesting and cohesive-there was a flow from idea to idea that kept me interested and intrigued. The author writes in the first person as though she is having a conversation with "you"--this might be appealing to this age group of readers.It would have been helpful to have a few more supportive graphics. There are plenty of pictures that reveal the diversity of those who need water and the diversity of methods we use to trap and clean water. A diagram of described concepts like "a mini-wetland in the corner of your kitchen" (p. 28) would have been helpful to the reader in visualizing this important concept. Not a deal breaker, though.This could be used in literature circles for some conversation around critical questions. You might even be able to read aloud sections to draw students' interest--the writing flows that well and is sprinkled with enough "gross" facts to draw students' interest, but not so many that the reader loses track of the central ideas.
