Aquaduct - Robust or Rubbish?
While the Aquaduct proposes a very clever and innovative idea for developing nations that are clean-water scarce, one must wonder about the true practicality and cost of such innovation.
Not only would there be significant cultural barriers to entry - even if the Aquaduct were provided free, but is this not just another attempt to Westernise developing nations? Now don’t get me wrong, this could be greatly beneficial to the health and prosperity of many. But just picturing people from Sub-Saharan African nations riding around on hundreds of bright blue tricycles just doesn’t gel in my mind.
What do you think? Is this an astonishing invention? Or just a waste of time and resources?
