Old buildings, particularly stone ones, can stand for centuries with good maintanence. I've seen so many cases of old (100yo) buildings standing in much better shape than newer (20-30yo) ones.

However, drinking water is not the most stringent guideline for water uses. Humans are actually fairly tolerant of junk in drinking water compared to other forms of life. Amphibians for example are much more sensitive to contaminants in water than humans. As home to amphibians and other sensitive organisms, discharge to wetlands can require better quality water than standard drinking water quality.

Not to mention, water that is perfectly fine chemically and biologically can still kill fish and amphibians if it is too warm. Many aquatic animals have very narrow thermal tolerances.

stories about helicopters firing missiles without targeting carefully or those girls in tanks firing on kibbutz homes without a clear idea of who is inside

Does anyone have a 'reputable' (i.e. Western or at least Al Jazeera) source for both of these? I need to show some people.

Hasn't Morena done a lot to reduce poverty and build infrastructure in the provinces?

But wouldn't penalties / sanctions only work on countries that rely on the dollar?

That might be the intention of some of them. But photos have a powwrful emotional impact. It was the photo of a drowned boy that (temporarily) got Europe to accept thousands of refugees.

I read that Galloway will be introduced to the House of Commons by Corbyn. (This is just a formality; Galloway has been an MP before and knows the drill.)

Google flights (I know, I know) has it. Also, airlines generally prefer one manufacturer to simplify logistics, so you could look up the 'fleet' section on their Wikipedia page
