Good to see you around again @stockrock. Good points raised there.
Only China frames water policies and management practices as an engine for economic growth, socio development, poverty alleviation etc which could generate additional economic growth, eradicate hunger and thus improve the living of millions of people. Water is an engine for development. Technological adoption is part of economic development. It's forward looking.
You don't have the same narrative in the West. Senior policymakers have been mostly interested in water only when there are crises due to extreme hydrological events like heavy floods or prolonged droughts which could seriously affect a large number of their populations because of major adverse impacts on their lives and livelihoods. Other words, water policies are reactive, with a look at the rear view mirror for direction.
That's the difference and it explains why China has the most installations. It makes a major difference for FLC because MABR is new all around.
