ÁGUA - Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento

Water Rights and Wrongs A young people's summary of the United Nations Human Development Report 2006
Beyond scarcity: Power, poverty, and the global water crisis

Water costs nothing for those with everything and everything for those with nothing ("A água nada custa para os que têm tudo, e tudo custa para os que nada têm")
The poor pay huge sums for small amounts of water. To get it, they walk great distances, wait hours, and compete with other equally desperate people for the precious resource.
Overcoming inequality is more than making sure that all people receive 20 litres of water everyday – those 20 litres must be clean and affordable – and free for the poor.
