WATER SUPPLY
An essential service for cities is how and where to get water from.
Most cities get water from a big reservoir, a dam that stores water from a river. Dams cannot be individualized in cities.
Usually, each dam owns the right to a certain volume of water from the river, which is a way to privatize water to a large group of people. But the tragedy of the commons keep happening here.
Water volume in reservoirs are variable because the climate is variable. A solution could be privatize water right over a certain portion of water.
For a 10,000 inhabitants city, each person could own 0,01% of the reservoir water. One could buy or sell portions of water. That would give incentives to people to build more reservoirs.
Large real state developments would need to build more reservoirs or find new ways to supply their needs.
