| Abstract: | The proliferation of car washes and other water-guzzling ‘attractions’, such as water parks and manicured roundabouts with unnaturally lush green lawns, seem like our version of Potemkin Village, a fake village built in 1787 by Grigory Potemkin to impress Empress Catherine II during her visit in Crimea. Despite the water largesse we are accustomed to, Malta ranks as one of the 10 ‘thirstiest’ (meaning having the lowest volumes of renewable water per capita or inhabitant) countries in the world. |
