The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher. Release date: January 1st 2011. Published by Soucebooks Fire.
A world where the water supply is restricted, sounds like a believable and scary plot to me! This is author Cameron Stracher's YA debut novel.
Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:
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. Timely and eerily familiar, acclaimed author Cameron Stracher makes a stunning YA debut that's impossible to forget.
