Anons I've been digging and dumping these people all week. I started based on something very different but every time I turn around it comes back to these guys. Veolia Water, a French Company. There is moar going on with the protests in France than we give credit, ths is Global.
Watch the Water
These guys are in control of the WW Water supply. but first look at the example here. They have been creating problems then offering the solution for decades. Of course it ALWAYS goes over budget ….

In 1994, the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) began the construction of the International Wastewater Treatment Plant (IWTP) on a 75-acre site, west of San Ysidro in the Tijuana River Valley, on the US side of the Mexican border. The project, authorised by the US Congress in 1989 and formally agreed between the two countries in July 1990, was part of a regional approach to solve a long-standing problem.
Uncontrolled discharges of up to 38,000m³/day of raw wastewater from Mexico flowed down the Tijuana River and out through the National Estuarine Research Reserve to pollute the beaches of south San Diego County and Playas de Tijuana.
With a population then estimated in excess of 1.2 million and increasing at a rate of 6% a year, the local wastewater infrastructure in the Tijuana region was in need of a radical overhaul.
Completed in spring 1997, the official ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on 18 April and the plant came properly on-line in May. The plant is owned by the US section of the IBWC and operated by Veolia Water North America.
International wastewater treatment plant background
"The geographical proximity of the border communities of Tijuana and San Diego was the principal driver of the regional approach taken."
The original intention was to provide a plant capable of delivering consistent secondary treatment, with activated sludge selected as the preferred method. However, in the end, building the advanced primary facility alone exhausted the $239m of project funding.
The second element of the project started in 1995 when the city of San Diego commenced a federal government construction contract for the South Bay Ocean Outfall (SBOO). Combined trenching and boring techniques were used and more than 400,000t of rock was placed over a 1.5-mile section of exposed pipeline for protection.
Completed in December 1998 at a cost approaching $200m, the finished structure extends along the sea-bed near Imperial Beach emerging approximately 5.5km (3.5 miles) offshore at a depth of 30m (100ft). Currently, 95,000m³ (25 million US gallons) of effluent from the IWTP is discharged from it daily.
The outfall also discharges effluent from the South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP), a facility which belongs to San Diego and was opened in May 2002. This plant has a wastewater treatment capacity of 56,000m³/day and was built to relieve the south Metro sewer interceptor system, provide local treatment services and supply reclaimed water to the South Bay area.
The Border Environmental Cooperation Commission (BECC) gave a grant of $17m towards the $143m facility. The projected cost had originally been estimated at $97m.
A series of upgrades were also made to the Tijuana sewage system, which included the construction of a new pump station and parallel force main. This phase of the work was completed in late 2000.
IWTP trans-border cooperation
The geographical proximity of the border communities of Tijuana and San Diego was the principal driver of the regional approach taken. The project required close cooperation between a number of national, regional and local agencies in addition to the two municipalities themselves.
Project funding was administered by the US Environmental Protection Agency who worked with the Mexican Comisión Estatal de Servicios Públicos de Tijuana (CESPT) …
