Rising bills and rivers full of sewage grab the headlines, but the greater threat is climate crisis, bringing increased drought and flooding. Unfair charges limit spending on infrastructure, while financial extraction has turned the water companies into debt-burdened zombies in an increasingly fragmented system. This book exposes the many problems with our unsustainable water system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReforming regulation and tinkering with tariffs will not be enough, and public ownership is just the first step. Murky water shows that the system can only be made sustainable through a radical overhaul of how it is owned, managed, funded and planned. We need a new kind of water management, with national and catchment planning and coordinated action by landowners, local authorities and water companies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luca Calafati, Julie Froud, Colin Haslam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526188694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526188694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Luca Calafati","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46906810794239,"sku":"9781526188694","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9cae406-7d21-4f3f-8575-a99b034950ce.jpg?v=1748771475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murky-water-luca-calafati-9781526188694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
