/ world today news/ The music did not play for long: before the Europeans could trumpet to the whole world that they “managed to survive the winter without Russian gas and Russian oil”, because the winter turned out to be warm, they were interrupted by the meteorologists. Above-freezing temperatures with minimal rainfall means the continent’s already fragile fresh water supplies are depleting. In this case, we are not only talking about traditional waterways such as rivers, which are used, among other things, to transport goods, but also about groundwater.
In the European news agenda, the red lights are already starting to flash. If in winter the population was urged to save energy, today the authorities are starting to prepare society for new restrictive measures. And no, not at all in relation to our country, but in relation to the Europeans themselves. Both continental – EU and island – British.
Britain is already considering a ban on the manufacture and installation of plumbing fixtures (such as showers and toilets) that use “a lot of water”. Obviously, all that different water pressure design, all those massaging amenities, all those multi-button waste product flushing devices can just go away.
There, on the “forbidden” list, the jacuzzi will surely be added. In general, anything that requires a lot of water consumption in everyday life, if you stay in the paradigm of bureaucratic logic, will be prohibited. The British, who are still proud of the fact that, unlike on the Continent, they still live with faucets without mixers and with bathtubs in which water (once poured) serves to wash the whole family, will surely take this with understanding .
And their eternal rivals, the French, decided to act in a different way. They will be beaten in the pocket – the most understandable way to tell a nation where the miser Gobsek is practically a national hero, that water is now a luxury. In the literal sense of the word.
The President himself, after visiting the Alps and examining the shallow water bodies, stated this unequivocally. It is assumed that a certain “hygienic minimum” will be sold by the suppliers cheaply, and for anything above this indicator the price will be increased, so that especially persistent clean and tidy people will not be left with no choice.
Either bathe or eat. And this is by no means a hypothesis, it is not a dystopia and it is not a joke – this is the reality that the inhabitants of the “European garden” will have to deal with in the near future.
And if, in the end, oil and gas can still be found from somewhere in the world, albeit at many times higher prices than in Russia, then water, even more clean and fresh, no one can sell it to the EU for what it is and it was money. And the storage facilities, as well as the infrastructure to continuously supply the Europeans in the necessary quantities, simply do not exist.
The fact that Europeans will have to strain for some water was reported at a UN conference held at the end of March. Statistics are completely merciless to those who consider the presence of clean water in the tap as the norm, while a quarter of the world’s population does not even know what a water supply is.
The “European garden”, in which they may soon ban watering, will eventually wither as expected.
