- "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)
