drinking water

[Requia ☣]

I was really, really hoping someone would tell me that I was mistaken, and you can in fact go to jail for poisoning the groundwater.   

There was one set of arrests recently, 20 years after the fact.  No actual convictions yet.

The real current problem is the belief that when infrastructure is built it will remain, en perfecta, permanently. Thus, Atlanta, and every other failing water works and sewage system in American built 100 years ago.

^ This. I ran across an estimate from the American Water Works Associate today that says it will take about $250 billion of the next twenty years to fix America's water infrastructure. I kind of doubt anything will be done until Atlanta is wading in shit and LA is completely flooded, though.


Related tangent: If anyone has books, articles, or anything at all relating to water utility pipes, water purity and safety, etc. PLEASE can I have them?

Gigapedia is your friend.

Thanks! That place looks like it'll be useful as hell.

hxxp://avaxhome.ws/ebooks is nice too.  the absolute best stuff (peer reviewed grad school textbooks) is mostly on torrents, but it takes a lot of work to dig through that.

avaxhome's search function is terrible, though.

I get better results by doing a google search with site:avaxhome.ws added to the end.
