Water Privitization World Wide
- All across the developing world, local residents
have protested the tendency by a new wave of private water ventures to raise
prices and concentrate on serving more affluent neighborhoods at the expense
of poor ones.
- Water privatization isn't new. Most of the U.S.'s municipal water
supplies were privately run before cities took over to ensure the infrastructure
kept up with growth. But privatization has taken on new significance as the
world population has increasingly outstripped local governments' ability
to keep water supplies growing apace, water experts say.
- An estimated 1.2 billion people -- nearly a sixth of the globe --

Sea Of Galilee
- These days, even the lowest sinner can walk out
onto the Sea of Galilee
- It is hardly a feat of faith. The water is simply not there anymore,
at least along vast stretches of bottom laid bare by a precipitous drop in
the water level in recent years.
- The crisis forced Tal to curtail water for Israeli agriculture by
a third. Some products requiring considerable irrigation, such as citrus
fruits, were abandoned by many growers.
