Today is a little bit special because I will be talking about an editorial written by my friend and classmate Jonathan on how Texas government should deal with the water shortage. In his editorial, he agrees that the state should take his hand off the water system and management and at the same time adopt the property ownership by living the management of water to private businesses.
That a reasonable point of view. However, by allowing private businesses to take over the water system, the will seek for profit because a business without benefit is irrelevant. In addition, local agencies that are actually working with the state will have to close and at the same time put many people out of job.
I believe the solution is not the ownership. The solution will come from updating the actual infrastructure. According to Debbie Hasting (vice president of environmental affairs for the Texas oil), the State of Texas needs funding to build necessary infrastructures and implement water strategies in order to avoid a big decline on their economy.
In the seventh paragraph of his editorial, he agrees that the implementation of ownership is not simple. Therefor why make a radical and uncertain change while we can just get the funding necessary to update our infrastructures.
