I've just returned from working on a water supply project in rural Uganda and I'm absolutely outraged at the ignorance of some of these comments....Water supply isn't a feminist issue, but women DO suffer the most. Please understand that there has been no women rights movement in the third world and that they are responsible for providing for the family. Furthermore, understand that reproduction is a survival strategy...in hopes that your children will work and take care of you.

access to water is more than water:
IT BENEFITS THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY
- girls get more time for school
- women have more time to produce more income
- children live longer, healthier
- empowers women AND men towards social justice, participatory democracy, for public services for all as the foundation to ending poverty
its not a black and white, or men vs. women or rich vs. poor issue
-
water shortage is NOT caused by population, it is a human rights and POVERTY issue - please remember that in the past, Christians produced large families as well
water is for people, not for profit.
perhaps companies like COKE should stop using fresh water in LDRs for commodities...

sounds like marxist crap to me

i agree. this is more of a human rights issue than it is anything else. it's children that suffer the most, not women if you ask me, b/c they can't walk 10 miles and get it themselves but at a great price.
but i really feel we should do something about this.
-
yet someone in the us, like me, can just turn on the tap and watch the water run without anyone stopping them. crazy.

The Middle East and Africa are screwed.

its sad that people won't ever hear about this. over consumption and wastage i.e. bottled water is something the world especially the west should be concerned about and ashamed of.
thank you aljazeera for informative news.

its a human rights issue, here in Canada, the U.S. and Australia - our water crisis are already affecting us, sadly - our problem stems from over usage for to wash cars, water artificial lawns, huge amounts to flush toilets etc.
all to preserve the "american way of life"
