WATER ABLAZE - Patagonia Sin Represas

Multinational corporations have begun
their predatory raids on the world’s water
resources. Here in Europe, too, water supply
systems have already been impacted by this
global privatisation wave and an integral part
of the basis of our human existence has been
reduced to a mere plaything at the mercy of
economic interests.

Jens Loewe describes for us the techniques
and tricks used by these large companies
to get their hands on public assets – aided
and abetted by political accomplices – and
shows how democracy, self-determination
and citizens’ rights are falling by the wayside
in the process. He also illustrates the way in
which our water is being contaminated to an
ever-increasing extent by industry, large-scale
construction projects and chemicals, and the
far-reaching repercussions this environmental
damage is having for all life on our planet.
WATER ABLAZE provides information about the
various options available to members of the
public and the strategies that can be applied
to oppose current developments, as well
as possible ways out of the present crisis.
Concerned and active citizens will find the
book helpful in their struggle against the
all-pervading power of the giant corporations
and institutions. Jens Loewe is an activist
and the author of numerous publications on
this subject. He lives and works in Stuttgart
and supports various projects both in
Germany and abroad.
