Description
Egypt dammed the Nile to stop the yearly flood, and two years later the sardine catch off the delta had fallen from about 15,000 tons to about 550. Britain tore out close to a million kilometers of hedgerow and now pays farmers to plant it back. India walked away from its stepwells until the taps started running dry. Three things that still worked, cut because nobody was watching them any more.
