Out of sight of most Americans, global corporations like Nestle,
Suez, and Veolia are rapidly buying up our local water
sources--lakes, streams, and springs--and taking control of public
water services. In their drive to privatize and commodify water,
they have manipulated and bought politicians, clinched backroom
deals, and subverted the democratic process by trying to deny
citizens a voice in fundamental decisions about their most
essential public resource.
The authors' PBS documentary "Thirst" showed how communities
around the world are resisting the privatization and
commodification of water. "Thirst," the book, picks up where the
documentary left off, revealing the emergence of controversial new
water wars in the United States and showing how communities here
are fighting this battle, often against companies headquartered
overseas.
