An interview with Maria Eugenia de la Pena (Senior Specialist for Water and Sanitation at the Inter-American Development Bank). She gave an interesting example about relaxing the official regulations and standards. It sounds counterintuitive since you would hope that a development bank would promote stricter standards. But imagine an expensive wastewater plant producing effluent that's so clean that it's close to drinking water quality before it is discharged into a very polluted river. That clearly doesn't make sense; therefore, the IADB is trying to show governments the broader perspective.
There was so much packed into this episode, my head is still spinning. This is not criticism, I love it when that happens. Thank you! And thank you also for the summary. I have a hard time reading my hand-written notes.
It’s reassuring to know there are people worldwide who are dedicated to informing as well as working hands on. Unless there is a massive earthquake, flood or natural/man made disaster, our earth is not adequately covered by news sources.
