Resource Type: Book
This No-Nonsense guide examines the world water crisis in its many dimensions, not least the recent tendency to try and manage water by handing over to private entrepreneurs not just the pipes, but the rivers, aquifers and rainfall supplying them. Water has always been regarded as a commons which nobody may own. As this basic principle erodes, can people hold onto their right to water -- and to life?
