...love with it. It has the 'it' value," says Anne. That process of constant upgrading has helped make Spain rich - and kept cranes along the Mediterranean coast operating at sometimes reckless speed. Now the trade is slowing down, and there are warning signs of decay. An alleged kickback scheme has led to high-level arrests this year in Marbella, Spain's jet-set and botox capital. Authorities in the Valencia region have been challenged by foreign owners and the European Commission over a 12-year-old law that allows communities to reclassify already developed land and force owners to sell...

Some U.S. cities have had similar schemes for years, and since 2003, Singapore has been adding treated wastewater to its reservoirs, the quality of its NEWater exceeding World Health Organization guidelines. Greg Leslie, associate professor of chemical engineering at the University of N.S.W., worked on Singapore's scheme with engineering firm CH2M HILL, which is proposing to upgrade Toowoomba's sewage-treatment plant. Leslie thinks objections raised to such schemes in Australia verge on hysteria. "I can't fathom anyone in their right mind saying they...
