Repair, replacement and new infrastructure for the water would be money well spent to benefit future generations. The argument that economic stimulus to the economy to provide jobs today puts a burden of debt on future generations is mitigated when long term needed projects are done. From what i have heard the existing water infrastructure including pipe in the cities is aging and failing and wasteful. Using some of the stimulus package from governments to repair and even build new water supply, delivery and treatment makes sense and will benfit today and future generations. Also makes sense when labor and material prices are weaker in recession time. In some cases upgrade and repair will also improve the water quality. I also think better water management in agricultural areas is needed. In my opinion this is more important and useful than highway construction. jmho.
