Gaza’s Water Infrastructure Desperately Needs to be Rebuilt - FPIF
Thousands of Palestinians have died because of Israeli efforts to choke off Gaza’s water supply. Immediate aid — and long-term infrastructure repairs — are essential to save lives.Peter Certo (Foreign Policy In Focus)
OFWAT is investigating, but on past experience will likely accept some shabby defence from TW rather than actually (further) sanction them for obtaining money from customers under false pretences (what else would you call it, when all schemes were intended to be completed by next month & will not?)

Ask your MP to attend my Water Bill debate
After years of bill hikes, shareholder pay-outs, and pollution, it couldn't be clearer that privatisation has created a crisis in our water system.actionnetwork.org
1. a focus on costs builds in a 'need' to reduce service quality & provision;
2. paying the fine for breaking service commitments is mostly cheaper than retaining/keeping to such commitments;
3. the beneficiaries focussed on are investors (shareholders) not users....
all pretty simple really!

Trump has just literally thrown millions of gallons of #water away that farmers were counting on this summer, purely to brag that he could.
That #cawater cannot be captured or used now by anyone: not farms, not cities, not firefighting.

He's ordered his dam operators to throw away their stored water, just for a photo op and tweet. That water cannot be recovered.

"Peter Gleick, water systems expert and a senior fellow at the Pacific Institute, a nonprofit research center, labeled the claim as the president's latest "fact-free, confusing, and fantastical comments" about California's water systems. "Zero water from the Pacific Northwest comes to California -- there are no pipelines, aqueducts or water transfers. That claim is just another example of Trump's complete ignorance about how western #water systems work," Gleick told AFP.

"Ultimately, environmental laws protect people and communities. Increasing water diversions beyond levels that are already unsustainable will harm communities that rely on San Francisco Bay’s water quality and fisheries. We call on Governor Newsom to help the people of Los Angeles recover, quickly, while defending California’s waters, wildlife, and vulnerable communities from the Trump's radical anti-environmental agenda," as our science director @jarosenfield told Courthouse News https://www.courthousenews.com/california-leaders-condemn-trump-executive-order-tying-water-policy-to-wildfire-relief/

Regulation that is not worth the paper that they flush down their khazis, and all aided and avetted by SUCCESSIVE Westminster governments. No Labour, you don't get to avoid the blame for regulatory collapse.
Now Reeves will carry on elsewhere!

“Rafah, like other areas in Gaza, is truly ravished and war-stricken, all the infrastructure has been destroyed, there’s no water, electricity or sewage system.”
“We took the initiative to provide fresh water to help displaced citizens returning to what’s left of their homes in Rafah.”

The Govt. is having talks with restructuring specialists about the process of (temporary) nationalisation of TW (after bankruptcy?) and its reorganisation...
but, one might wonder whether investors will launch an Investor State Dispute Settlement case (using investment treaty arbitration) to argue that the Govt. has rendered their investments worthless by such actions....
The case could go on for years....

“Taking advantage of the chaos following Damascus's fall, Israel's seizure of Syria's Al-Mantara Dam showcases the long-standing Zionist strategy to secure regional water dominance, exacerbating tensions across an already parched West Asia.”

Prof Halsallrom Lancaster University wanted to know the basis for #DEFRA creating their own PFAS groupings. “Is that scientifically based or is it politically based?" Or just the right bribes been paid?

#Environment #Water #PFAs #TheyDontCare
The problems associated with PFAs have been known to the industries that manufacture, use and improperly dispose of for decades. Another case of the UK (I know the artice refers to England) shitting in its own nest. The costs of 'fixing' this (if at all posssible) will be imense.
