<p><b>Essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of our most vital resource.</b><br><br>Our water system is a mess. Rising bills and rivers full of sewage grab the headlines but the greater threat is climate crisis bringing increased drought and flooding.<br><br>This book exposes the many problems with our unsustainable water system. Unfair charges limit spending on infrastructure while financial extraction has turned the water companies into debt-burdened zombies in an increasingly fragmented system.<br><br>Reforming regulation and tinkering with tariffs will not be enough and public ownership is just the first step. <i>Murky water </i>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.<br><br>Westminster and Whitehall currently stand in the way. To overcome their resistance and secure a sustainable future we must ignite a social movement capable of challenging power.</p>
