I would love to pick your brain, I am researching land purchases to secure long term resource security for my family. I added you as a friend so I can find you :).
Is this the Steven Solomon book you are talking about? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/0060548312/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1520702762&sr=8-1
I'm an extreme water nerd.
I agree with all of geocurious' recommendations. For textbooks, those are the main ones for groundwater, especially. Fetter is another mainstay. I'm sure you can find the textbooks easily enough.
As for less academic, Cadillac Desert is good and goes into the policy behind U.S. dam building (which is long but interesting). Water: The epic struggle... is a history of the world with some interesting connections to water (though doesn't get enough into the water, from my perspective).
As for beautiful writing about water, I can't recommend Loren Eiseley enough. The Immense Journey has some really great chapters about water (and then goes on and on about human evolution, but still ok). A really neat excerpt book about geologic themes is Bedrock and that is how I found my pal, Loren.
I have also been amassing a public Spotify playlist of songs that have a hydro-theme. Message me if you want it. Sitting at a couple hundred songs right now, but definitely biased towards my musical interests.
