Water for People and Nature: The Story of Corporate Water Privatization See the presentation as a pdf file See the presentation in html Thispower point presentation has been developed by the Sierra Club's Corporate Accountability Committee as an educational tool for interested citizens and activists wishing to learn more about water privatization issues and for use by communities mobilizing to prevent corporate privatization of their water services and resources. It provides a broad overview of the corporate-driven trend toward the privatization and commodification of water. The presentation is updated periodically to reflect new developments. Viewers will learn of citizen victories and ongoing challenges in the United States and around the world, from a defeated proposal to pump water from under the Mojave Desert in California to pre-paid water meters in South Africa. It also looks at how global institutions and trade/investment agreements promote privatization of water services and even of water itself. There is a growing global movement of water activists. You, too, can become involved by starting in your daily life and in your community. If you would like to use this presentation for a workshop or meeting, please contact Ruth Caplan, rcaplan@igc.org.
