"I am not here as a public official, but as a citizen of a troubled world who finds hope in a growing consensus that the generally accepted goals of society are peace, freedom, human rights, environmental quality, the alleviation of suffering, and the rule of law". - Jimmy Carter, from his Nobel Lecture
"It is through awareness and information that we can protect ourselves, our families and our health. It is the absence of knowing information that we become vulnerable and stand defenseless to protect ourselves". - Erin Brockovich

Did You Know:
One billion people do not have an access to safe and affordable drinking water, and 2.4 billion people live in conditions lacking adequate sanitation.
Each year about 4 million people die of waterborne diseases.
In 2006, 1.8 million children under the age of 5 (an average of 4,900 every day) died from the consequences of unsafe water and inadequate hygiene.
Lack of sanitation increases the risk of outbreaks of cholera, typhoid and dysentery.
While the average American uses 150 gallons of water per day, those in developing countries cannot find five.
Half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by people with an easily preventable waterborne disease.
Diarreah caused by drinking contaminated drinking water remains a leading cause of death and illness amongst children and infants in the developing world.
Over half of these devastating diseases can be prevented by providing safe, clean, healthy water.

The rampant overdevelopment of agriculture, housing and industry increase the demands for fresh water well beyond the finite supply, resulting in the desertification of the earth. As Maude Barlow proclaims, "This is our revolution, this is our war".
F.L.O.W - For Love of Water
Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question 'Can anyone really own the water?
