Storm Warning

Storm Warning considers how changes in climate and the water cycle are reshaping the conditions on which communities, economies and ecosystems depend. Sandford connects large environmental processes to practical questions of water availability, extreme events and the capacity of societies to respond.

Drawing attention to the relationship between climate disruption and water security, the book argues for understanding water not as an isolated environmental issue but as a central element in wider questions of resilience and public policy. Its focus moves between environmental change and the human systems affected by it, giving readers a framework for considering how water-related risks can compound across regions and institutions.

Written for a general audience, the book provides an accessible introduction to the growing importance of water and climate security and to the consequences of failing to prepare for changing conditions.
