As less and less water is available, you have yet another problem being added and that is the problem of privatization.
There are companies now saying why don't we bottle it, mine it, divert it, sell it, commodify it. That greed of privatization, I believe, will be much worse than climate change and everything else that has left us with the water crisis.
The world is running out of its most precious resource. True Vision's timely film tells of the personal tragedies behind the mounting privatisation of water supplies.
More than a billion people across the globe don’t have access to safe water. Every day 3900 children die as a result of insufficient or unclean water supplies. The situation can only get worse as water gets ever more scarce.
at about 4 minutes the little girl says that other kids call her a "filthy pig" and that she is "black" from not showering....yet the subtitles say that they call her a "n*gger". WTF?!?! since when does "black" translate to "n*gger"?
For the record....i get no joy from using that word, i simply wanted to make a point. And in case anyone is wondering, i am not black i am full blooded mexican and i stand with anyone of any color who stands with me.
Europeans really screw everyone.
Tired of these ignorant documentary producers who never deal with the actual. Chemtrails/GeoEngineering is a fact, it is one of the methods the bankster/elite are using to corner the market on food and water as well as exterminate us in their population reduction plans.
When you prevent snowpack via Chemtrails and cause flooding in other areas, the environmentalists CHOOSE to misrepresent (lie) about the cause.
If YOU want to do something, write your congressperson to tell them to stop the Chemtrails and stop listening to the lying Chemtrail promoters. It is a VERY important issue because it affects us all. It slowly ruins the growing soil and stunts the crops. Slowly kills everything, including us. If your Congresspersons refuse to even respond, vote them out in near to an election. If not, impeach them for dereliction of duty. They are part of the swamp (progressive-communist bankster minions) if they want the world to be continually showered with nano Aluminum, Barium, and Strontium as well as other things on occasion, as it is now and has been for at least a couple of decades.
If you are unaware of this do a web search for a GeoEngineering watch website where you can find the govt documents which provide for the "Weather Modification" as well as videos and lots of other info. I think "What in the world are they spraying" and/or "Why in the world are they spraying" are available on this website, if not youtube.
And all of this happened because of large corporations like Pepsi and etc etc who use use to make sh*t that is not only unhealthy for you but unhealthy for the environment. And there are billions of sheeple who unwittingly support this sh*t because they don't want to the the rich natural foods their ancestors ate...no they want to eat junk food that will shorten their lifespan how lovely and smart of them right? smh...
To Aleister Crowley, this subject is not fear mongering. I just returned from a town in East Africa that I am researching where resident travel by taxi for 17km per day to buy water in about 6 jerry cans for a family of two adults and four children. It takes up to 3 hours to travel in three wheel taxi including dirt road. They earn very little and so water is an exorbitant cost for them.
I am researching agriculture but after my stay I realised water is the real problem. The government has not maintained pipes to local water source (also some distance away) so the traditional ponds that are meant for animals is now being shared with humans who cannot afford water. Children are constantly dirty and I never saw anyone wash themselves or clothes whilst I was among them. One morning I used half of a 500ml bottle of water to wipe myself down with tea tree oil and soap. Small businesses have gone bust, one son has dropped out of school cause he cannot wash.
Ironically, the village is food secure but cannot always obtain water for cooking. I was fearful to eat from the proud family who did not ask me for money and suggested I give them what I wanted to when I offered. I suspect that this country is heading down the water privatisation route as it is seriously in debt for the poor development taking place throughout the country.
Water in their area has also dropped and interestingly a large multi-national has started industrial irrigation to produce maize in less than 10 miles form the community. When I was leaving for my two hour road trip to get a flight to the capital, they gave me a 2lt bottle of water! Many in the west have no idea how most of the world lives because they are too busy getting drunk, drinking soft drinks, playing on games consoles and watching banal television programmes.. They are dumbed down and when the problems come their way they will be totally unprepared unlike those in the global south who adapt each day.
Boycott water utilities. Harvest rainwater and bore a hole in the garden. Stuff them.
My showers are long because I sing and dance for the first 20 minutes. LOL I know its wasteful but theres plenty of water where I live.
the sentiment at 57`18" is correct and the World Bank is ONLY and ever ONLY interested in profit (that's why it's called a bank, not the "World Mendicity Institute") there are unfortunately too many humans making too great demands on a finite resource. The "solution" is clear. Reduce demand by fewer demanding it.
We must change. The corporate profits of capitalism over children and there health is nothing but child abuse. These people should be criminally charged and jailed for withholding water from a child. so should all capitalists that put profit before life.
it s clear that some people are not going to survive in some areas in the future, with the planet warming up further, they will have to move where it s available, governments should have the responsibility of providing it, not private companies, one cannot survive without it.
Really good. If you liked it I recommend you to watch "Blue Gold World Water Wars". Be Water
It's a shame the most basic things been privatized and withold from us by corporate greed and peoples live in conditions in the 21 st century which put Humanity in shame,because what we dispose in the daily bases could help so many innocent peoples when a little girl crying because yhe other kids don't play with her because she don't have acces to clear water it's break my hearth we do this to each other this world really need a revelation in god's eye we already doomed to be sucessfully exist in this world
Great documentary, I would have to agree with others that overpopulation is our biggest problem we have to face. Simply just because so many deny this and when you talk about the issue to most you are looked as being a sick or weird individual.
There is no solution to overpopulation we will forever continue to fight diseases, old age, handicaps, natural disasters etc. Don't get me wrong I think the medical advancements are awesome. And I wouldn't want anyone to suffer or not have a chance at a good life. I think most people would agree and this IS why there is no solution.
All life is greedy to some degree. We are just a little too greedy and refuse to accept natural causes.
I figured this out when I was younger and was forced to go to bible school. "Live forever?" "Heaven"? Everybody is just floating around being good? What is good or happiness when their is no sorrow or evil? Will we be just like animals then? Man we are some confused greedy apes.
Why are people in such denial about overpopulation of our human species? We have finite resources. We have doubled our population since 1950. It is hard to do, but we must face the fact that our numbers are destroying our habitat. We can not blame the 1% for all of our problems. We breed prodigiously and carelessly, and if we continue to
deny this reality, we will destroy the health of our planet.
This was hard to watch. Too many errors and assumptions. There is no problem with water, just a problem with politics and governments. All I see is government forcing people to buy in to water. Just look at Colorado, USA. There it is now illegal to capture water from rainfall.
wow, i think this vid should go viral, and everybody who sees it should send it on to as many people as they can.
i have known about this problem for some years now, and it never stops amazing me when i see when i see everyday people sucking up that corrosive filth that coke forces upon us, with out a care in the world and absolutely no understanding of how they are contributing to the suffering of so many.
im no tree hugger, in fact im rough northerner from the UK, but i defy anybody to say they dident have a tear in there eye, when the little girl at the begging of this doc was talking about her little life, jesus WTF are we doing to this world by sitting idly by, as greedy corporations cash in on our very exsistance and our right to life its self.
It was only 2 years ago when coke was caught with their fingers in the till, bottleing normal tap water and selling it to us as mineral water! how did they survive that little gaff?.
let me ask you this? now you have seen this doc will you ever support coca cola again by buying their products?.
i cant be the only person who is truly enraged by coca cola's candid and open exploitation of millions of people world wide.
on another note, it would be very interesting to see how much they pay their so called "director of global water resources" to tell them what they want to hear, and besides that, where dose that job come from any way? who put that guy in charge of the worlds water.
Another bit in the doco was interesting, where they are talking about water shorts in america? humm! could that be because they have been selling their water to china for years now, thats right, they pump it directly from their own Aquifers and fill up massive million ltr + bags, that are then towed behind container ships streight to china.
im not even half way through this doco yet but i had to start commenting or my head will explode, although it has done one good thing, because i for one will be looking into how much it costs to get a family hooked up to water in Bolivia, and if i can help out with that, i will be on a plane in the new year.
i want to see my money put to work rather than just give it to a faceless charity.
Why not ban wastefull commodities such as mass produced softdrinks? homeade lemonades and fruit juices would more than quech the thirst and feed the sugar addiction in all of us, If it takes 3 Gallons to make one when water now costs far more than a stupid and wastefull full softdrink which only serve to increase your dentist bills which are also becomming unafordable for alot of people in even the so called developed world. Now you can all queue up your posts about how stupid I am or about "why should we give up blah blah blah" or whatever. The fact is these are luxuries we can and should now live without through every fault of our own, me included. I am no incoent party at all in this, but if someone told me that softdrink companies now had to close down I know I would be smart enough to find an alternative to my drinking habits, how many of you can say that? the answer should be all of you......
As the narrator points out many times in this Shockumentary, the drout IS coming! so what will you do about it? Besides bitch and moan about this being a bad suggestion, simply because it forces you all to pull yourself away from the keyboard and start using your own heads
gods got nothing to do with it because theres no such thing beliving in god is what got us into this mess in the first place ,letting corperations take over the wrld instead of sharing recorces out evenly amounst the people of this earth the earth belongs to all of us not some corperation and not some govenment and not no relegion behind it
I cried for joy at the end, when I saw the children so happy to have water showered onto them. God Bless them. God punish those greedy motherf--kers.
Skywater Alternative Energy is what they need.
The usual take over by corporations is what is creating this situation for poor people around the world. Coca Cola is an example of a useless commodities which is, im sure, responsible for the deaths of countless people whose water has been stolen. All this to make kids fat in the western world. This should be a crime against humanity.
As per usual the liberal looks at corporations which have monopolies on services and resources and blames the free market. WHAT FREE MARKET?? There is none, all these western water companies are monopolies who use their influence to get contracts from the government for the entire utility. They have no competition and thus there is no market whatsoever. That means there is absolutely zero ZEEEERRRROOO! pressure on these companies to charge competitive rates. They can charge whatever they want and they will and that is exactly how it is supposed to work because we DO NOT live in a free market society, we live in a cartel society where government and industry combines to grant unilateral control over the economy to a small number of vested interests.
I'm NOT EVER drinking COCA COLA again.Blaming the farmer that was thier 1st.
The farmers should sue them !!
We who are so lucky to live in Countries of wealth and with adequate clean water to drink, just take it for granted. OUR WATER IS RUNNING LOW AND THERE IS SO MUCH WASTED. Watching this video is heart breaking but very true. The horrible repercussions of lack of water is devastating. We must all work hard to conserve water and to lobby our govts to ensure that the water we use is taken from areas that can support the demand. As the populations grow the water is being taken from aqifers and many other means to support the demand. Something serious neds to be done to stop deforestation, raoing of the land and wasting of our precious water, so that our children and their children can enjoy the freedom to turn on a tap and there is the water they require. Without water the world will not survive. Mankind needs to be more vigilant and not just take water as our right to use, however and when ever we wish.
isn''t most of earth's fresh water frozen in Antarctica?
