· Instead of protecting their citizens’ water resources, governments are increasingly not fulfilling their obligations but are succumbing to the pressure of giant transnational corporations that are poised to profit from making water a sellable commodity.
· Fortune magazine has predicted that “water is the oil of the 21st century.”
· Every third year the World Water Council organizes the World Water Forum. The Forum is the largest international event in the field of water.
· The 6th World Water Forum will take place in Marseilles, France, March 12 – 17, 2012.
For those inclined to do so, this matter might be a good one to put on your prayer altar!

This may be worth a ping to your list...
This week Dr. Paul Houser is interviewed by I SPY radio (http://www.ispyonsalem.com) about his unceremonious firing from the Dept of Interior....why? For asking questions about the SCIENCE behind the REMOVAL of 4 Dams in the Klamath Basin.....Turns out Interior Secretary Salazar said in 2009 that the dams would come out....but, then they had to go pretend to do the studies to make sure it happened....Dr. Houser, who is a WELL Respected hydrologist tells the story of what happened to him in asking a few questions about the accuracy of the press releases going out of the Dept. of Interior....he found out he was no longer welcome there. It will be on the I Spy website after 2pm Pacific time on Saturday, March 10th.
Thanks for the ping!
