Water Wars: Drought, Flood, Folly and the Politics of Thirst

Diane Rainses Ward

 

 

BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)

Lurking in the background of the last great wars over oil is a likely

series of battles over a resource without which we literally cannot

live: water.

 

That is why corporations have already begin working toward the

privatization of water rights and the distribution of water throughout

the globe. It is a relatively quiet profit-making encroachment on our

most basic free commodity -- at least up until now.

 

Water Wars sets the stage for the developing political and real wars

over something we always believed to be a free, elemental resource. In

short, it's an extremely fascinating and well-written primer into how

historically we have gotten to this point. It focuses on specific

issues and initiatives relating to water -- and reveals their impact

on the global problem.

 

With shipping included, BuzzFlash is able to offer " Water Wars " for

less than the original price due to a special purchase.
