The report critiques the role of international financial institutions and multinational corporations in promoting water privatization, highlighting resulting price hikes and environmental degradation. It documents specific cases of 'water wars' and corporate lawsuits in Bolivia, pollution in Indonesia and Peru, and the ecological impact of dams in France and Norway, while proposing community-led, sustainable alternatives.

• In Bolivia, the privatization of water in Cochabamba led to a 'water war' after tariffs rose by 300%, eventually resulting in the expulsion of the Bechtel-led consortium Aguas del Tunari and its subsequent $25 million lawsuit against Bolivia via a Dutch investment treaty.
