It's rare that on the same day I post the same item on WaterWired and my personal blog Campanastan but since I am reading David Zetland's Living with Water Scarcity now I thought this graphic extremely relvant to drought, scarcity, and how we value (or don't value) water.
I suspect street artist Banksy did not intend this to apply to water but perhaps I am wrong. Either way, it's worth posting and reflecting upon.

Kahnemann and Tversky described this effect (loss aversion) and got a Nobel prize. I think their paper was longer, though :)
