Water for sale - to the highest bidder!
Posted on 25 Jul, 2013 01:02 PMDid you know that the planet would die in three days if it ran out of water? Water is a basic necessity and the United Nations recognized the right to it as a basic human right in 2010. Isn’t it ironic that we are still allowing a few utility companies privatise it, speculate over it and control it?
