Ill. Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-276) and index "There's Money in Thirst," reads a headline in the New York Times. The CEO of Nestlé, purveyor of bottled water, heartily agrees. It is important to give water a market value, he says in a promotional video, so "we're all aware that it has a price." But for those who have no access to clean water, a fifth of the world's population, the price is thirst. This is the frightening landscape that Karen Piper conducts us through in The Price of Thirst--one where thirst is political, drought is a business opportunity, and more and more of our most necessary natural resource is controlled by multinational corporations. The product of seven years of investigation across six continents and a dozen countries, and scores of interviews with CEOs, activists, environmentalists, and climate change specialists, The Price of Thirst paints a harrowing picture of a world out of balance, with the distance between the haves and have-nots of water inexorably widening and the coming crisis moving ever closer Bottled water industry fast Water consumption Economic aspects fast Water resources development fast Water security fast Water-supply Economic aspects fast Water utilities fast Water-supply Economic aspects Water consumption Economic aspects Water resources development Bottled water industry Wasserwirtschaft (DE-588)4064821-7 gnd Wasserversorgung (DE-588)4064811-4 gnd Wassermangel (DE-588)4257415-8 gnd Mineralwasserindustrie (DE-588)4566207-1 gnd Water utilities Water security u QT 600 idslu LR BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Stoppsignal FRED nebis DS vw SzZuIDS BS/BE uw SzZuIDS BS/BE 172 IDS LU IDSLU LUUHL LUUHL UHFRE QT 600 2014 IDSBB A125 A125 125F1 UBW_QT_600 33 NELA1251507 IDSBB B555 B555 555U1 BNE T WAS 265 NELB5811608 IDSBB 100 1- Piper Karen Lynnea IDSLU 100 1- Piper Karen IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/GBV/787117846/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis IDSLU ILU50 ILU01 LUZHB https://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/GBV/787117846/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 357938895
