Water, covering 71 percent of Earth’s surface, gives our planet its distinctive blue hue when seen from space. Yet for all that water, an astonishing small amount is available for human use. If we were to imagine all the Earth’s water in a 1000-litre bucket filled to brimming, the fraction that is freshwater and not locked in ice is a mere 25 mL. Rough estimates place South America’s share of that total at about half. Asia gets almost 6.25 mL, leaving the remainder — another 6.25 mL — for everyone living in North and Central America, Europe, Australia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Lesotho used to be an oasis of freedom in the middle of apartheid South Africa; now it's an oasis of poverty. The small kingdom however has one resource promising increased welfare for all: trickling mountain brooklets. The Mohale Dam uniting them for further exports to South Africa is soon to be finished, but the most visible result so far is that more than 30,000 people have lost all they had due to the dams.

Foreign shareholders in Argentina's private water company have decided to pull-out after months of fighting for the government to increase the rates of public utilities.
Many families risk losing water-service due to the break-down in a new proposal for the government to subsidize the transnational corporation. The Spanish company Aguas Barcelona which controls 25 percent of Argentina's water utility company announced they will leave Argentina.

En el extremo sur del continente, entre el verde follaje de la cordillera
patagónica de Chubut, surge la voz rebelde de los guerreros de la tierra,
en un solo frente de lucha y resistencia. Nosotros, los mapuche y los
campesinos, abrazamos a nuestra madre naturaleza con el puño en alto y con
la voz alerta.

En 1992 el pueblo uruguayo votó mayoritariamente en contra de la privatización de los servicios públicos, en un plebiscito organizado por los movimientos sociales. Este fue un mensaje inequívoco para el gobierno, los organismos financieros internacionales y las empresas transnacionales que impulsaban la privatización del agua. Este hito historico en Uruguay, se constituyó en un ejemplo y fuente de inspiración para los movimientos sociales de toda América Latina.

Bangladesh, one of the poorest and most densely populated countries in the world, is beset by floods, tidal storms, famine and disease.
Now it is confronting the accidental poisoning of as many as 85 million of its 125 million people with arsenic-contaminated drinking water (The Independent, U.K., October 11, 2000). The scale of disaster in Bangladesh is beyond that of the accidents in Bhopal and Chernobyl (WHO, 2000). The epidemic of arsenic related cancer has just begun. The arsenic mitigation programme financed by the World Bank/donors is hopelessly subject to inefficiency, bureaucracy, corruption, lack of capacity, lack of capabilities, lack of professionalism, etc (Hoorens and Koender, Deltf University, Netherlands, 1999) So far, no programme aid has reached the people.
