Canadian non-fiction, Canadian authors (Non-fiction), Nature, Environment
Human-narrated audio
Summary
Barlow wants nations to define the world's fresh water as a human right rather than a commercial product, as she notes that a handful of multinational water companies, abetted by World Bank monetary policies and United Nations political timidity, are… bidding for the complete commodification of formerly public water resources. Barlow calls for private citizens and nongovernmental organizations to challenge corporate control of water delivery, agitate for equitable access to clean water, and confront the reality that freshwater supplies are dwindling. Sequel to "Blue gold". 2007.
