Water: a common good, public management, and alternatives

From the 23rd to the 25th of August, 2008, water justice activists
from across the Americas met in Cochabamba, Bolivia, the same city
where some of the first open battles against water privatization were
launched and won eight years ago. The gathering, called 'Agua, Bien
Común, Gestión Pública y Alternativas,' (Water, a Common Good, Public
Management, and Alternatives) brought together more than 60
organizations from 15 countries to envision just and sustainable models
of water stewardship and to build alliances that will bring these
visions to fruition.

Over three days, a diverse group of participants analyzed current
trends in the privatization and commercialization of water, and shared
experiences in the construction of public and community-controlled
water management systems as alternatives to the dominant logic of
privatization and commodification of water.
