reads a headline
in the JSTeze) York Times. The CEO of IsTestle, purveyor
of bottled water, heartily agrees. It is important to
give water a market value, he says in a promotional
video, so we re all aware that it has a price. But for
those who have no access to clean vs^ater
—
a fifth of
the world s population
—
the price is thirst. This is
the frightening landscape that Karen Piper leads us
through in The Price of Thirst , one where thirst is
political, drought is a business opportunity, and more
and more of our most essential natural resource is
controlled by multinational corporations.
In visits to the hot spots of w^ater scarcity and the
hotshots
in water finance, Piper shows us what
happens when global businesses with mafia-like
powers buy up the water supply and turn off the taps
of people who cannot pay: border disputes between
Iraq and Turkey, a revolution of the thirsty in Egypt,
street fights in Greece, an apartheid of water rights
in South Africa. The Price of Thirst takes us to Chile,
the first nation to privatize 1OO percent of its w^ater
supplies, creating a crushing monopoly instead of a
thriving free market in water; to ISTe^v Delhi, where
the sacred waters of the Ganges are diverted to a
private water treatment plant, fomenting unrest; and
to Iraq, where the U.S.—mandated privatization of
water resources destroyed by our military is further
destabilizing the volatile region. And in our own
backyard, where these same corporations are quietly
buying water supplies, Piper reveals how water
banking is drying up California farms in favor of
urban sprawl and private towns.
The product of seven years of investigation across
six continents and a dozen countries, and scores of
interviewas
with CEOs, activists, environmentalists,
and climate change specialists, The F*rice of Thirst
paints a harrowing picture of a world out of balance,
with the distance between the haves and have-nots
of water inexorably widening and the coming crisis
moving ever closer.
