If you were to do it again, you'd probably do some things differently. But the decision is right to have a single entity manage the water and the waste water for a country.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Fresh, clean water cannot be taken for granted. And it is not - water is political, and litigious. Transporting water is impractical for both political and physical reasons, so buying up water rights did not make a lot of sense to me, unless I was pursuing a greater fool theory of investment - which was not my intention.
Conservation is important... water comes at a cost.
Clean water and power is our right as humans on this earth, and for too long, our governments in Africa have failed to provide these things.
This legislation confronts the human truth that the need for clean water knows no borders, and proper management and intervention can be a currency for peace and international cooperation.
My suggestion is that we should first work to ensure the Third World has clean drinking water and sanitation.
Everything we think about regarding sustainability - from energy to agriculture to manufacturing to population - has a water footprint. Almost all of the water on Earth is salt water, and the remaining freshwater supplies are split between agricultural use and human use - as well as maintaining the existing natural environment.
Water is our most precious resource, but we waste it, just as we waste other resources, including oil and gas.
In an underdeveloped country don't drink the water. In a developed country don't breathe the air.
There's over a billion people on this planet that don't have access to clean drinking water.
The U.S. Supreme Court has established that the tribes own their water. What I'd like to focus on is doing something with the water that results in economic development.
