For those water enthusiasts out there, take a couple of minutes to read an article titled "who owns water? Experts debate pricing, infrastructure investment". I don't see this article as a debate per se, but as a dialogue where ideas and knowledge are exchanged and discussion emerges on how to move forward. Anyone looking for a general overview of the water situation in the U.S. (water pricing, climate change, groundwater, technology, policy) should read this article.
The discussion is between Sheila Olmstead (an economist), an engineer named Peter Gleick, former Arizona Governor and WWF trustee, Bruce Babbitt and Gretchen McClain, senior vice president of an engineering company called ITT. Very different perspectives are shared.
