Video/DVD study series: Water who owns it?
Many people believe that after oil, water will be the next big war-provoking issue in the world, as ever more pressure is put on scarce resources, especially in developing countries and other drought-prone areas. Of particular concern is the moves of big business to take control of water to make profits from its distribution. Where poverty is rife this would mean a death-sentence for people who could no longer afford water.

This new documentary examines the work of CWS Sri Lankan partner, MONLAR, and it's reponse to World Bank economic polices affecting farmers' access to water.
