Heartbreaking. The tone of all observers is that this is as much a
failure of governance as an environmental catastrophe.
As everyone who was at Burning Man learned, plumbing and drainage is

Letting it go to rack and ruin is storing up misery, so it worries me
that in the UK we've had 20 years of government that has effectively
"washed its hands" of water management.
