"...In every corner of the globe, we are polluting, diverting, pumping, and
wasting our limited supply of fresh water at an expediential level as population
and technology grows. The rampant overdevelopment of agriculture, housing and
industry increase the demands for fresh water well beyond the finite supply,
resulting in the desertification of the earth.
Corporate giants force
developing countries to privatize their water supply for profit. Wall Street
investors target desalination and mass bulk water export schemes. Corrupt
governments use water for economic and political gain. Military control of water
emerges and a new geo-political map and power structure forms, setting the stage
for world water wars.
We follow numerous worldwide examples of people
fighting for their basic right to water, from court cases to violent revolutions
to U.N. conventions to revised constitutions to local protests at grade schools.
As Maude Barlow proclaims, "This is our revolution, this is our war". A line is
crossed as water becomes a commodity. Will we survive?..."
