Emeritus Prof Christopher May (chrismayla6@zirk.us)'s status on Wednesday, 10-Jul-2024 15:13:35 JST Emeritus Prof Christopher May
For those of you who might be wondering how exactly we got to the water crisis we are currently experiencing, Nils Pratley (Guardian) offers a quick guide to how the dots joined up to deliver us dysfunctional privatised water & sewage utilities.
Many of us will remember these details all too well, but for my younger followers (good morning), it offers some useful context.
