I have an exceptionally crap letter to the editor in today's Herald. Usually I write about something of importance!
Andrew Partos (Letters, June 20) makes an excellent point: cities that fail to manage their water needs cannot survive. However, the Aztecs managed their water carefully, using canoes to transport fresh water and sewage, and building an aqueduct almost five kilometres long. Their great cities were still flourishing when Cortes arrived.
ETA: A much better letter describes the Howard government as a "mob of grotty alley cats".
