A history of destruction: From Khersan to Gotvand The human cost of this looting is staggering. The Khersan 3 project threatens to submerge 124 kilometers of land, displacing over 10,000 people in the Sadat Mahmudi region who have nowhere to go. It will also destroy a historical site containing over 50,000 artifacts worth an estimated $500 million —a figure that exceeds the cost of the dam itself. This destruction follows the pattern of the IRGC's previous catastrophic projects, such as the Gotvand dam. According to the Middle East Forum, the Gotvand dam turned the Karun River into a “permanent saltwater factory,” killing 400,000 palm trees due to salinity. The regime is not managing water; itis systematically destroying 3,000 years of Iranian water management for short-term profit.

This is some pretty fucked up Hydrological shenanigans going on in Iran. Less to do with Climate Change and more 'Mafia Water Theft'

Expert describes Trump-ordered Northern California water release as "dumb" After the tragic wildfires in Southern California, President Trump often attributed the disaster to what he said was a lack of water being sent from the northern part of the state, and vowed to fix th...

Thanks @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com for the reminder of the wasting of our water... California farmers count on these reserves for use in the Summer months. The release had no benefit for anyone. The local USACE probably knew as much. #watertheft

Nobody knows how much free water Coca-Cola is taking from Perth's aquifers. How did this happen? Coca-Cola has been taking free water from a bore in Karragullen for decades, to sell as bottled water. As Perth endures one of its driest ever spells, questions are being asked about what that means f...

Same in Australia:

“Coca-Cola has been taking water, for free, from Perth's aquifers for decades.”

Not just in this location…
Not just this company…
Not just for bottled water and soft drinks…

Also e.g. cotton growers in NT arid regions!

Dr Colloff 'said there were moral and legal obligations around water take.

"Water is a public good, and so if you have what is essentially a free for all … then it's going against the public good"'
