Community Efforts
What's in your water? Protect your water resources by maintaining local control.
Around the world, communities are fighting to retain and strengthen the local control of their water resources. We provide support for the residents, elected officials, water utility staff, and community leaders who are fighting to protect their water from corporate control. In addition to serving as a clearinghouse for communities facing privatization, we alert public officials and concerned citizens about the economic, social and environmental benefits of local ownership, and the risks of privatization
People have won real victories in protecting their water resources –– from the small coastal town of Montara, California, to the highlands of Cochabamba, Bolivia, to the great city of New Orleans. Here you’ll find information on where people are challenging corporate control of water around the world, and what they’re doing to win. Help us build this network.
