Waiting on Wednesday: The Water Wars

Because we all have something we're waiting for.

The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher
Welcome to a future where water is more precious than gold or oil-and worth killing for.

Vera and her brother Will live in the shadow of the Great Panic, in a country that has collapsed from environmental catastrophe. Water is hoarded by governments, rivers are dammed, and clouds are sucked from the sky. But then Vera befriends Kai, who seems to have limitless access to fresh water. When Kai suddenly disappears, Vera and Will set off on a dangerous journey in search of him-pursued by pirates, a paramilitary group, and greedy corporations.

I like dystopians. I like environmental stories. This one combines the two, and I've seen a lot of anticipation for it - hopefully, it will be as good as everybody thinks it will be.
