overlooking a series of circular water filled tanks of a sewage treatment plant at night. 

lights line a long brick building on the horizon as a blue-black sky is stark behind a veil of thin puffy clouds in the distance.

good night, sewers.
good night, streams.
good night, operations and maintenance teams.
good night, settling tanks.
good night, stream banks.
good night, engineers, scientists, crews, managers, inspectors, analysts too.
a good night for us means serving with care.

good night, sewers, everywhere.

Strait of Hormuz: Gulf states’ food security is at immediate risk but wider shortages could push up consumer prices globally Gulf states depend on food imported via the strait – and shipping surcharges could raise the cost of consumer goods around the world.

"Oil & gas are not the only commodities moving through the strait. The Gulf region serves as a major hub for the transfer of containers carrying consumer goods, particularly between Asia & Europe. The strait is central to the global fertiliser trade, with > 30% of urea exported from Gulf countries."
