"In previous books [such as] The Lost Art of Reading Nature's Signs and The Natural Navigator, Tristan Gooley helped readers reconnect with nature by finding direction from the trees, stars, clouds, and more. Now, he turns his attention to our most abundant--yet perhaps least understood--natural resource: water. Distilled from far-flung adventures and experiences -- sailing across the Atlantic, navigating South American rain forests with Omani tribesmen, canoeing in Borneo, walking in puddles and on seashores -- Gooley shares a wealth of information in How to Read Water,"

Firstly let me get this off my chest in the beginning, I have never read a book on nature but I have read many encyclopaedias. I really tried to keep my mind open about this book, but on many occasions I felt like any average encyclopaedia would be more informative.
The main reason I felt like that was because the author meanders a lot.
Or maybe it is just me, and I'd prefer to read a more technical book.
Overall, not my cup of tea.
