Water prices aren(cid:495)t based on the cost of the schemes of producing/cleaning the water. Iqaluit, nunavut expected to reach pop(cid:495)n (cid:883)(cid:882),(cid:882)(cid:882)(cid:882) soon. Rapid population growth due to gov(cid:495)t, regional logistical hub, resource. E. g. diversion schemes in nyc or la, not reflected in the price you pay for your water. In most places, water is metered, and you pay by m3: above-ground utilidors. Controlled outflow from lake geraldine; produced a development, high birth rates.
