    However, not only that prices inevitably grow higher as shown in the previous argument, but the quality of the water also has to suffer because of this, thus directly impacting the health of the citizens that make use of the fresh water provided by the company. Finally, this leads to another argument against water privatization which is the negative effects it has on the health of the customers due to improper regulations. A major study that backs up this assertion is a research paper which studies the child mortality rates during a 6 years period in Argentina (Galiani, Gertler, Schargrodsky). The study shows that child mortality increased by 8% in cities that had privatized their water as opposed to those that remained under public management, with a more accentuated effect towards the end of the timeline.…

    During the 18th century, France possessed the colony known to them as Saint Domingue, an island in the Caribbean Sea.

However, the Haitian slaves revolted against the French colonial rulers, resulting in the first complete successful slave rebellion in history. However, the cost of the war, natural disasters, and a French "independence tax" crippled the former colony, leading to an almost instantaneous decline in the country's wealth and prosperity.

    Would you rather have water for farmers that require it for their crops and harvest or have the water to take showers and to use the restroom? In California the water usage for farmers and citizens has exceeded the usual amount and it has not rained in months, so there has been a severe drought throughout the valley. The city has run out of water, so they’re obligated to go outside to use the restroom and they can’t take showers. I believe that California needs to control the water wells and add regulations to manage water usage. “Realistically, if it doesn’t rain this winter, we’re going to continue to view a variety of private wells going dry and at some point we would arrive to the point of basically a mass exodus out of this area,” he says.…
