Who Owns the Water?
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
"The shortage of fresh, clean water," states a report by the Human Rights Commission, "is the greatest danger to which mankind has ever been exposed." It is only thanks to water and its mysterious qualities that life on earth is possible at all. Who Owns the Water? discusses the phenomenon of water, marvels at its uniqueness, and addresses the dangers and opportunities water offers. The book looks at the most important questions about providing drinking water and producing food but also deals with water as a destructive force and investigates the chemical qualities of the molecule. Who Owns the Water? points out the risk of unlimited privatization of water and records how dependence on water is exploited. Detailed texts and provocative illustrations show how water can belong to no one, but must be treated responsibly and held in appropriate esteem by the whole of mankind.
