I’m starting in on the last chapter of Normal Water today. It’s been a relatively painless process so far, although quite a bit of editing work remains to be done. My goal has been to have a full manuscript draft in place by the end of May and this is now looking feasible. This final piece will cover, roughly, the UN Water for Life decade (2005-15). Obviously this isn’t over yet, but the decade is just a guide – I’m not actually tracking what goes on in UN programming. Instead, I’m using these “decades” as a heuristic to keep the story going. The 65-75 was hydrology, the 80’s was sanitation/drinking water and so on…
