Water justice for all
Water is becoming dirtier, scarcer and costlier for people in many parts of the world. Big dams, pollution, deforestation, industrialized agiculture and mining are all part of the problem, as is inequitable access to water. Friends of the Earth groups campaign for water justice by promoting collective water management systems, urging water reduction and reuse, and restoring rivers and wetlands to more natural states.

International financial institutions, trade treaties and multinational water corporations that promote the privatization of water services are only decreasing the access of poor people to water. Friends of the Earth believes that water is a human right, is essential to livelihoods, and should not be treated as an economic good.
