This is totally unacceptable! It is not just unacceptable, it is downright CRIMINAL!!! Water is NOT a commodity to be bought and sold, according to International Law! NO country should allow the sale of water, which is a NATURAL resource and NOT a man-made one! Furthermore, under International Law, water has been established as a "right to life" resource! For ANY government to issue "licenses" for cents on the gallon,to a private company, to the detriment of human life, is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY! For the government to be complicit in the absolute THEFT of First Nations water is an even GREATER CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY, an ABSOLUTE travesty!
In 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirmed the right of everyone to adequate food. However, access to adequate food in the rural areas of many developing countries depends heavily on access to natural resources, including water, that are necessary to produce food. The UN General Assembly declared access to clean drinking water and sanitation as a human right on 28 July 2010. But the right to water in the context of the right to food is a complex question. While drinking and cooking water would be protected, water for food production would probably not be covered under the minimum needs in arid areas.
A case in point to water being a necessity of life; the Bolivian Water War; whereby an international consortium “Aguas del Tunari” bought licenses to control the water of Cochabamba.
