Our member @We_OwnIt said: “This crisis loan will keep Thames afloat in the short term, but their underlying business model is rotten... This is the ‘doom loop’ of privatised water & there is only one way to break the cycle – public ownership.”

Why are dams built? Where do we build them? What are they good for? Who pays for them? And, more importantly, who wakes up one day and thinks, “You know what this river needs? A big concrete wall”?
And how, exactly, does everyone miraculously agree to pour billions into one?
Yep, I just played the classic 5Ws and an H game with dam construction. But let’s be real—do decision-makers and stakeholders actually ask these questions before giving a dam the green light? Do they ask the right questions?

The recent developments on the global stage and reductions in funding are significantly impacting the WASH sector in South Asia and Africa. It is imperative to begin exploring alternative sources of support and resources.
