The Water Front

We received an email from Veronica Segovia, she is the on-line media intern for Food & Water Watch, and wanted to share with us a documentary called The Water Front.  I must admit that I was shocked by what I saw just in the trailer of this documentary. I had heard of a lawsuit that the residents of a black neighborhood in Detroit had recently won that was related to water supply and discrimination, but I had no idea of the suffering these people were put through.

I encourage everybody to see this film, to blog about it, to talk about it with your friends and remember that this kind of abuse is possible not only in third world countries, but here in the US. So listen, dig deeper into the news, don’t just trust what you see on mainstream media.

Thanks Ms. Segovia for sharing this with us along with another interesting project called Take Back the Tap. You can rest assured that Nuprana.com will always support initiatives like this one.

Our focus is water conservation and we are committed to creating awareness about this issue and protecting our watersheds. Our ultimate goal is to prevent water shortages that have the potential to create situations like this, where people are abused by the ‘owners’ of their water. How can this be happening when we haven’t yet reached a real water crisis? The only explanation possible is CORRUPTION. We must make sure this kind of situation doesn’t happen again, particularly as water becomes more scarce and hence more valued.
