Synopsis:
"Who Owns the Water? uses a phenomenological approach to H2O to persuade readers that an element in a constant state of flux and physical change cannot be subject to any political or economic ownership claims. An informed world community should take responsibility for water and respect it. Water's importance for life cannot be underestimated. (There's a reason why proof that water once existed on Mars was cause for astronomical elation.) Here its life-giving properties are analyzed and celebrated, and its molecular characteristics are described. More crucially, perhaps, the book examines the dangers and opportunities water presents for humanity and the great task society faces in securing the existence of this magnificent life-support system. Complex questions about drinking water provision, waste water disposal, food production and agriculture, and the climate are raised from ecological, economical, cultural, social, ethical, and aesthetic standpoints. The whole is presented through a series of photo essays, written essays, and statistical and factual information.
Review: This book persuades, but not only through data and argumentation. Throughout its 540 pages, the reader is overwhelmed first and foremost by the numerous and exceptionally striking photographs. --Greenpeace

Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Laminated board, illustrated in colour. Industrialization and population growth have brought about a global water crisis. Nature can no longer compensate the exploitation of our freshwater and our oceans. One billion people have no reliable access to clean drinking water; two billion live in precarious hygienic conditions. Famine, poverty, epidemics, and infant mortality are closely linked with the water crisis. Social, ecological, political, and economic conflicts obstruct efforts to resolve the global water crisis. Water is an instrument of power. The key question reads: Is water a commodity or is free access to water an inalienable human right? By approaching water from a phenomenological perspective, Who owns the Water? seeks to persuade the reader that an element that is constantly flowing and changing defies all claims to own it, be they political or economic, and is instead the responsibility of the entire international community.
