This is a report on the struggle for access to water between global mining corporations versus local people. Guess who is winning.
The conflicts in South America are part of an intensifying global struggle for water. Two of the mightiest rivers on earth -- the Yellow River in China and the Colorado in the U.S. and Mexico -- have been so depleted by cities, factories and farms that they rarely reach the sea, as they had for eons.Notice that the writer of this piece for a premier Wall Street media company goes out of his way to sprinkle comments by corporate friendly sources to soothe peoples' concerns about the issue. Still I give Bloomberg credit for reporting on this issue unlike most other corporate media.
