Distributed water supply: A didactic analogy

Abstract

The scarcity of natural resources is a recurring problem in modern daily life. Much has been done to find solutions that generate the least environmental and social impact. Among the various challenges to face the scarcity of resources, this work presents in a playful way the issues involving the scarcity of water resources in a given region and the solutions found by the society of its surroundings. The work addresses the importance of the solutions presented to meet the needs of all. The format of the problem and the solutions presented is based on the text "The fable of the roast pigs". The issue of water scarcity is addressed, and any similarity with the scarcity of energy resources and the use of Distributed Generation (DG) is mere coincidence, or not.
