Flooding in Paris and drought in Cape Town

If I ever doubted the centrality of water to humankind (you could write a history of civilisation around the theme of water), the importance of H2O was underlined for me when I spent five years chairing the Customer Challenge Group for the regional company South East Water.

So I can’t help but noticing two current and contrasting news items: the flooding of the River Seine in Paris and the drought being suffered by the citizens in Cape Town (both cities which I’ve visited).
