Water is at the centre of both a corporate resource grab and an emerging global movement. In a new book, Maude Barlow traces the origins of the global water crisis and outlines a vision for a more sustainable solution to address it - a bold new proposal that she calls a "blue covenant".

Maude Barlow is the National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians and the founder of the Blue Planet Project working internationally for the right to water.
