International Tensions Around Water

International tensions around water are rising in many of the world's most volatile regions.

The Policy Approach

The policy recipe pursued by the West, and imposed on governments elsewhere, is to pass control over water to private interests, which simply accelerates the cycle of inequality and deprivation.

Global Crisis

California, as well as China, South Africa, Mexico and countries on every continent already face a crisis.

The Book's Message

This book exposes the enormity of the problem, the dangers of the proposed solution and the alternative, which is to recognize access to water as a fundamental human right, not dependent on ability to pay.
