Summary

It's the alternate chaos configuration of Hussein, Nate, and Alice discussing the UK's current drought, its privatised water infrastructure, the fact that no new capacity has been added since 1989... except for a special boy's special project in Beckton. We also read an article that claims blockchain can solve the world's water issues. We will always suffer for content.
