"In every corner of the globe, we are polluting,
diverting, pumping, and wasting our limited supply of fresh water at an
expediential. 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
We follow 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”. "<br>

Nations General Assembly has declared for the first time that access to
clean water and sanitation is a fundamental human right. In a historic
vote Wednesday, 122 countries supported the resolution, and over forty
countries abstained from voting, including the United States, Canada
and several European and other industrialized countries. There were no
votes against the resolution. We speak with longtime water justice
activist, Maude Barlow.<br>

Why should YOU care? It's YOUR money that pays for US/Israeli wars - on
Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine, So America, etc etc - for
billionaire bailouts, for ever more ubiquitous US prisons, for the loss
of liberty and civil rights...<br>
