Very interesting exposition of the complex nexus involved in sourcing, capturing-managing, delivering, regulating-safeguarding and financing the water we all use and rely on.
The discussion left out: much of what is creating problems associated with water; and much of what is obstructing address and mitigation of those (human activity) created problems. So technology and industry being one neglected node, and the sociological and social psychological planes of collective human occurrence, another. Non monetary costs, qualitative costs, health costs; could have been given much more systemic attention. The contributions of Peter Hammond (retired Professor of Computational Biology) then best expressed a sense of crisis regards water. While the contributions of others all sat within a more managerial frame of reference, even as none could say that what this managerial approach offered about the future could or would be actually implemented.
