"Five years of aguanomics"

Happy anniversary:

I launched Aguanomics on 26 March 2008 when I closed my blog, Sex, Drugs and Water Utilities. (The last post there -- also on this blog -- gave a critique of virtual water and footprinting; some things never change.)

In the 4,000+ posts since then, I've covered all there is to know (i.e., all that I can find) on the political economy of water and other topics -- some of which (corruption, development, climate change) affect how we manage water.

As I've often said (here's last year's post), I've used this blog to develop my thoughts, explain ideas to readers, and learn new things. These latter two activities are what make blogging different from a diary or academic paper and more like an endless seminar in which participants can explore ideas in all directions over time. I love this aspect because the matters we discuss are far too complex to get right at one time or from a single angle. It's the multiple layers of discussion -- different related topics in various places with many people -- that put flesh and blood on the bones of ideas, institutions and impacts that we all experience in different ways.

Thank you for your support and contributions.
