Water privatization

This is a misconception about privatizing the water. In a case, the government and company can save some water because this project cost less money on regulating and filtering the water. However, this privatisation project costs more money and a cause a financial burden for individuals. Also, this leads to high interest rates of private financing. As a conclusion, the citizens will be forced to spend high amount of money and suffer financially for poorer. Treating a water as an economy will be bad for the poorer for sure. The rich people and developed countries may make the disadvantages on poor country and who’s still developing the country. For instance, the rich people in already fully developed country will gain an advantage in many ways. However, for poorer and has not developed countries results in income inequality within the country and suffer financially. Towns and cities in Saskatchewan produce billions of wastewater annually.

I bring this up because Canada is also in a lot of debt, to be exact $616,135,876,004.58 CAD in debt; It is scary to think that Canada will also fall into the pressure of paying this debt off, and have no choice but sell some of their water supply. Therefore, a solution to prevent the privatization of water and look at it as a human…

Water is necessary for all complex life on Earth, from plants which use its molecules to synthesize energy from sun rays, to animal cells which use water molecules to repair more complex organic structures like DNA. In addition to drinking it, humans use water for sanitation, hygienics and agricultural irrigation.

much like our heart, water gives us power. In the world of water politics, water is power, meant both literally and figuratively. In fact, water is the basis of many things currently.

Through Resolution 64/292 the United Nations officially declared water as a human right in 2010 (UN). As stated by the researchers of, a huge problem we’re facing in this day and age is “privatization of water for corporate interest rather than human rights” (Johnson).

The need for fresh water grows alongside the burgeoning global population; but with rising temperatures and varying climates, water’s dispersal is becoming less uniform and less predictable to the extent that even historical bodies of water like Lake Chad may become dry. With this sporadic access to water, questions rise as to the proper method of water distribution.
