That's a key problem, since water supply has many public goods aspects to it and thus cannot be marketized well at all: capitalist competition drives the economy to replicate "tragedy of the commons" stories. Oil supplies can be privately owned more easily, so that the supply process is more easily marketized. But the problem with oil is its extraction and use (the pollution that results). -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
