water democracy

  • "water democracy" =
    democratized access to quality and sufficient water supply
  • dependence on commercial bottled water =
    once unusual, now commonplace
  • plastic bottles = major contributor to pollution
  • According to the 2006 Human Development Report,
    "Water and sanitation are among the most preventive
    medicines
    available to governments to reduce infectious disease."
  • people's right to quality water = connected to their
    other legitimate rights such as education, health, etc.
  • powdered milk + low quality water = diarrhea (poverty-related disease)
