"Droughts. Floods. Contamination. The perils to the global fresh-water supply have never been so clear or so numerous. In dozens of countries, ordinary citizens have cause to worry about their water, and who will ensure that it is available, affordable, and safe. In this refreshing examination of the fate and future of water, now available in trade paper edition, Marq de Villiers takes on some of the biggest questions and shibboleths of the century. Who owns water? Is access to water a human right? Who is responsible for keeping water clean and ensuring that it gets to the people who need it most? Is privatization of ownership an evil or an extension of the public trust? In this engaging and inspiring book, De Villiers offers a clear-eyed assessment of the politics of water, proposing innovative, real-life solutions based on local initiatives."--
