Why stop here… not say easy access to clean water is destroying your health. Should walk two miles to the watering hole, carry it back, collect wood for fire and boil the water your self…

Ngl, forcing people to walk two miles for water everyday would probably make a significant dent in obesity related mortality.
Well indeed - abstraction is a cornerstone of progress, not a hindrance to it.

Most of us will die from dehydration or water-borne disease or hunger if civilisation collapses though!
