Great piece of industrial history from the Orlu Valley (French Pyrenees) where pictures of miners & workers are displayed on site, on the foundations of the first hydroelectric central. They depict how the water pipes were brought up the mountain & assembled in the early 20th. #EnvHistory

In the Navajo Nation, a third of residents live without running water. But St. George, Utah-a majority Anglo city 80 miles away-consumed the most water per person per day in the US, and paid the least for it.
