In Water on the Great Plains: Issues and Policies, Longo and David W.
Yoskowitz, co-editor from Texas A&M International University in Laredo,
have collected current scholarship on the cultural, economic, environmental, legal and political implications of water policy.
According to a book review by www.watermagazine.com, the “essays paint a
picture of a varied landscape and of the historic and political background
to the water allocation disputes of today.”
