Can’t pump shit into the rivers if there are no rivers left *taps head*
So we’re taking all the water out of rivers and putting all the shit in? I’m sure this will end well.
And by well I obviously mean massive profit for someone while we all get fucked.
> An investigation into licensing data by Watershed Investigations and the Guardian found that the volume of water taken from rivers and lakes for industrial or public consumption has jumped 76% in two decades: 11.6m cubic metres (410 cu ft) were abstracted in the five years to 2023, up from 6.6m in the early 2000s.
If only there was some way we could have forecast our increased water consumption and taken steps to mitigate our failing infrastructure and lack of reservoir construction. If only there was another model of ownership where a parasitic infection could not run up huge debts and extract huge amounts of wealth via dividends.
