The wars of the 21st century will be about water. Increasingly, transnational corp. are plotting to control the world's dwindling water supply. In England & France, where water has already been privatized, rates have soared & water shortages have been severe. The major bottled-water producers -- Perrier, Evian, Naya, & now Coca-Cola & Pepsi-Co -- are part of one of the fastest growing & least regulated industries, buying up freshwater rights & drying up crucial supplies. The consumption of water doubles every 20 years -- more than twice the rate of the increase in human population. This book captures in striking detail the forces behind the increasing depletion of the world's freshwater & its human & ecological impacts.
