00:05:24...
00:05:26...
00:05:28...
00:05:30...
00:05:32Il y a environ 116 000 humain-made chemicals.
00:05:35Nous n'avons pas de savoir comment ils interagent.
00:05:38Nous sommes devenus expérimentés pour ces chimiques synthétiques.
00:05:42Et quand le cerveau prend ces chimiques de nos corps,
00:05:45ce qui se passe, c'est qu'ils se trouvent dans le toilette.
00:05:48Et puis ils vont dans l'aquifaire.
00:05:50Et puis ils vont dans nos rivières et streams.
00:05:53Nous prenons l'eau de l'eau et de l'eau,
00:05:56et nous prenons l'eau dans nos systèmes publics d'eau,
00:05:59et nous prenons l'eau encore.
00:06:02Tout ces pharmaceutiques, les cosmétiques,
00:06:06tout ce qu'il y a là,
00:06:08vous savez quoi ?
00:06:09C'est changeant la chimie dans nos corps,
00:06:12et c'est danglant nous.
00:06:29Pour les derniers 30 ans,
00:06:32depuis que la révolution grise a apporté
00:06:34l'agriculture chimique à l'India,
00:06:36il y a deux problèmes que ça a créé pour les systèmes de l'eau.
00:06:39Le premier problème, c'est que les fruits
00:06:42sont très inefficiètes dans l'utilisation de l'eau.
00:06:44Ils ont besoin de beaucoup d'eau pour désolver les chimiques.
00:06:47Et cela signifie que 5 à 10 fois plus,
00:06:50l'eau est utilisée pour produire la même quantité de la nourriture.
00:06:5370% de la consommation mondiale est d'origine agricole.
00:06:5920% d'origine industrielle,
00:07:0110% les usagers domestiques.
00:07:06C'est les usages agricoles et industriels
00:07:08qui font qu'on a besoin de plus en plus d'eau
00:07:11pour faire pousser les choses
00:07:12qui ne devraient pas pousser à tel endroit.
00:07:14Et pour faire pousser tout ça,
00:07:15il faut aussi des engrais, des produits phytosanitaires,
00:07:18de la chimie.
00:07:19Et évidemment, la chimie avec l'eau et dans les terres,
00:07:22ça ne fait pas bon ménage.
00:07:37Et aujourd'hui, y compris dans des analyses
00:07:39qui sont rendues non publiques,
00:07:41on s'aperçoit que, par exemple, l'eau de la Seine,
00:07:43mais on s'est rendu compte
00:07:45que dans les 5 dernières années dans l'eau de Seine,
00:07:47les poissons avaient changé de sexe.
00:07:49Il n'y avait que les femelles,
00:07:50et puis il n'y a plus de mâles.
00:07:58Le problème, c'est qu'on n'a pas de solution,
00:08:00puisqu'on faut toujours boire de l'eau.
00:08:02Même si vous croyez en Dieu,
00:08:04malheureusement, la pollution est diffusée.
00:08:12Nous ne devons pas oublier
00:08:13que ces chimiques ont été créés pour la guerre.
00:08:16C'est l'automne de la destruction de masse.
00:08:18Tout d'un d'entre eux
00:08:20venait du système de guerre.
00:08:21Maintenant, ils ne comprennent de l'eau.
00:08:23Ça peut paraître exagéré.
00:08:27Franchement, ça ne l'est pas.
00:08:29Et tout ça, ce n'est pas dans 50 ans, dans 100 ans.
00:08:32On est en pleine actualité.
00:08:33People assume that there's somebody in the government
00:08:39protecting their water supply,
00:08:41and that's often not the case.
00:08:43One of the most extraordinary examples of that
00:08:45is the most common pesticide sprayed in the United States, atrazine.
00:08:50Atrazine itself is an herbicide, or a weed killer,
00:08:54and it's used on products such as corn.
00:08:58It is the number one contaminant found in drinking water,
00:09:01in ground water, in surface water.
00:09:03Initially, we were contracted by Syngenta,
00:09:11the makers of atrazine,
00:09:13and their interest was in trying to understand
00:09:15whether or not, so they said,
00:09:17whether or not atrazine could function
00:09:19as an endocrine disruptor.
00:09:20Meaning, could it interfere with hormones
00:09:23such as thyroid hormone, testosterone, estrogen?
00:09:26We found that atrazine had a number of effects,
00:09:31but most significantly, atrazine demasculized
00:09:35the exposed male frogs.
00:09:37I would even say chemically castrated.
00:09:40We went on to show that in addition
00:09:42to being demasculized, they were also feminized.
00:09:45So in other words, male amphibians would grow ovaries
00:09:48and even produce eggs.
00:09:50Fish show similar effects.
00:09:52Their sperm counts drop,
00:09:53and they start to make egg yolk protein.
00:09:55Does that mean that atrazine is causing a global decline?
00:09:57Sperm counts in men?
00:09:59Again, the experimental and the epidemiological data
00:10:01suggests that atrazine may play a very significant role.
00:10:08It's also associated with prostate cancer
00:10:10and some of the factories that produce atrazine,
00:10:12as well as with breast cancer,
00:10:14and some studies that look at women
00:10:15whose water is contaminated with atrazine.
00:10:18One big concern might be fetuses
00:10:20that, in effect, are living in water.
00:10:23So if that fetus gets exposed to a chemical,
00:10:25it's constantly drinking its amniotic fluid.
00:10:32In the entire European Union, atrazine has been banned.
00:10:34And in effect, that is the only way you can limit atrazine levels
00:10:38because it can travel up to 600 miles, 1,000 kilometers, in the rainwater.
00:10:42In fact, of the 80 million pounds of atrazine we use in the United States,
00:10:47about a half million pounds of that atrazine comes back in the rainwater.
00:10:51And the irony is, I guess, that here's a European company
00:10:54selling 80 million pounds of a product in the United States
00:10:56where it's not even legal in the home country.
00:10:59When the Environmental Protection Agency under the Bush administration decided
00:11:02that it needed to at least appear to do something about the problem,
00:11:05after we sued them,
00:11:07they ended up sitting down with the people that made atrazine
00:11:11in private negotiations.
00:11:12They met over 50 times privately with the company,
00:11:16and they cut a deal.
00:11:18No crackdown, no enforcement action, no banning the pesticide.
00:11:48I just, I've never seen blood like this.
00:11:56They're just pouring this stuff right in.
00:11:59This is going into Lake Titicaca,
00:12:01which is the sacred lake to the indigenous peoples here.
00:12:04We can see that because that's the part that it's open.
00:12:07Of course.
00:12:08But you don't see the whole thing that they are doing to the river here.
00:12:10Of course.
00:12:11But what they're going to do here is they're going to divert it.
00:12:12Yeah, and they're just going to cleanse.
00:12:14They're not going to clean it up.
00:12:15They just, it won't be so ugly and open.
00:12:17Yes.
00:12:18It'll still smell the waves.
00:12:19Yes.
00:12:20Yes.
00:12:41So let me understand.
00:12:43Suez said they put an $80 million treatment facility here.
00:12:46Not only did they not do that, but they've diverted the raw sewage into this river that goes into Lake Titicaca.
00:12:51Yeah.
00:12:52This is a river that crosses all the city.
00:12:55So it's, it's around the city that they are doing the same thing.
00:12:59And it's, it's around the city.
00:13:00Terrible.
00:13:01And it's almost like a huge hole.
00:13:02Yeah.
00:13:03Can you imagine how to stop the water?
00:13:04What do they need to do that?
00:13:05People call the water.
00:13:06No, no.
00:13:07What do they need?
00:13:08No.
00:13:09No, no.
00:13:10No, no.
00:13:11No.
00:13:12No.
00:13:13No.
00:13:14No, no.
00:13:15No.
00:13:16No, no.
00:13:17No.
00:13:18No.
00:13:19No, no, no, no.
00:13:20Fortune 500 companies, they're very wealthy, they're growing very fast.
00:13:23And basically developing countries, poor countries, are being forced all over the world
00:13:28to hand over basic control of their water systems to a for-profit multinational from Europe or far away.
00:13:36SREZ is one of the two world leaders in the water distribution, water treatment in the world.
00:13:43I'm working with a French company, a large water operator called Vivendi,
00:13:47We are active in more than 100 different countries.
00:13:54We are active since 150 years, so we have a very long-term operator in water business.
00:14:04This is the water, this is the water from Limane.
00:14:08But the water from here is contaminated.
00:14:12Now it's clean, they've seen the water black.
00:14:17Now, a little later, the water comes with gusans.
00:14:20They're playing in the street, they come here and take that water.
00:14:24So, that water is going to harm them.
00:14:26The goal of the privatization was to provide the water service of water potable
00:14:33in the cities of La Paz and El Alto.
00:14:38But, during this process, we saw that only in the city of El Alto
00:14:45are excluded 208,000 people from the service of water potable.
00:14:52where we can be hid our cars.
00:14:55We don't have water, any light.
00:14:59With this stain the paint is the same in our clothes.
00:15:04And even if we trust that we are too dirty.
00:15:07It's not because there's no water, but because there's no water.
00:15:09de que nous sommes très doux.
00:15:11Ce n'est pas parce qu'on a dit qu'il n'y a pas de l'eau.
00:15:14Il y a des gens humildes,
00:15:15certains se sont juste à atteindre pour le consommé
00:15:18et ils vont se privatiser.
00:15:21La personne va d'y avoir de l'argent.
00:15:23Nous avons dit que l'eau doit aller à l'Ilimani.
00:15:27Les viciens n'ont pas de l'eau, n'ont pas de l'alcantarillage.
00:15:30Comme vous, possiblement,
00:15:32vous allez voir par la presse dans vos pays,
00:15:35nous, ici en Bolivie, nous sommes arrivés à souffrir.
00:15:38Vous pouvez acheter notre directeur,
00:15:40mais ils ne vont pas nous acheter à tous.
00:15:42C'est un pays où près de 1 en tous les 10 enfants
00:15:46mouriront avant la vie de 5 ans.
00:15:48Et la plupart des ces cas sont liés aux maladies
00:15:53qui viennent d'un manque de l'eau de l'eau de l'eau.
00:15:56Donc, quand les gens de El Alto disent
00:15:58«Enfait de la privatisation de l'eau de l'eau »,
00:16:00c'est parce que si ils n'ont pas de l'eau de l'eau de l'eau,
00:16:03leur aide aux enfants est à risque.
00:16:08Et ils n'ont pas de l'eau.
00:16:14Pourquoi a Bolivie privatise les systèmes de l'eau de l'eau ?
00:16:19C'est pas comme les citoyens l'apontent les personnes
00:16:21qui ont décidé que c'était une bonne idée.
00:16:23La privatisation de l'eau de l'eau a été assurée
00:16:28en Bolivie par la Banque mondiale.
00:16:30le Banque mondial a la Bolivie que si ils n'ont privatisé le système de l'eau de Cochabamba et l'Alto-La-Paz
00:16:37ils seraient à sortir des liens de l'eau de l'eau de l'eau de l'eau de l'eau.
00:17:00Une vie avec plaisir, une vie avec soumettement, une vie avec amour, avec angustie, avec l'insécurité, qui n'est pas la vie.
00:17:30...
00:17:50En septembre, 2019, j'ai eu l'aimédié.
00:17:55Il y a trois jours.
00:17:59Quand tu n'as pas vu, tu es m'aimpli.
00:18:02Il n'y a pas vu, tu aies.
00:18:09Je suis venu à là-dedans.
00:18:12Quand tu es m'aimpli, tu n'as pas à la fin.
00:18:16Je ne suis pas à la fin.
00:18:19Je ne suis pas à la fin.
00:18:21Parce qu'on a fait des seuls de la maison.
00:18:25Vous avez des seuls.
00:18:27Et quand j'ai dit, j'ai dit qu'il n'y a pas de vie dans le monde.
00:18:32Il n'y a pas de vie, il n'y a pas de vie.
00:18:35Il s'est passé dans le monde.
00:18:39J'ai dit qu'il n'y a pas de vie,
00:18:41parce qu'il n'y a pas de vie.
00:18:44Je ne le fais pas.
00:18:45Je me dis que j'ai pas de vie,
00:18:47mais je l'ai pas de vie.
00:18:48En tout cas, j'ai pas de vie.
00:18:50Nous attendons ici cinq heures.
00:19:18Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:19:48Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:20:18...is today the source of the major diseases.
00:20:22It kills more than AIDS, more than wars.
00:20:26We are all committed to reduce by half the proportion of people with no access to clean water.
00:20:33The challenge is of such a magnitude.
00:20:35We must put at the disposal of the common good, the know-how of the private sector.
00:20:43Let's find out.
00:20:56All right.
00:20:58We are from Suez.
00:20:59Oh, this is the first place where Suez is.
00:21:02Ah, that's interesting.
00:21:05At first, when these private companies went into developing countries, they were welcomed by the people because they were going to bring water and they were going to bring investments.
00:21:14Of course, what people didn't understand was that they're not bringing new investments.
00:21:17It's paid for by the public purse and by the World Bank.
00:21:19Then they came in and they raised prices and they didn't deliver good quality water and they cut poor people off and they fired public servants and their record was a disaster.
00:21:29They are bringing water to poor areas, but they're bringing the water where you have to put in a little card to get that water.
00:21:37This country is perhaps the leaders in the new technology prepayment water metering.
00:21:43Yeah, actually, this is the book that we got that is showing people how to use a prepaid meter.
00:21:50But the fact is that this book is written in English and then half of this community, they don't understand English.
00:21:57The consumer needs to pay up front for the supply of water.
00:22:02You have to have this token to pay for water.
00:22:05If I want to have water, I have to put my baguette here.
00:22:09You see, that's how I get water.
00:22:13You've actually got to change the thinking, the culture of people to understand that they should pay.
00:22:21You shouldn't have to force them to pay, they should want to pay.
00:22:23By telling a woman who's got nothing, in order to get your water, you must put in a card that takes your meager amount of money.
00:22:32What is she going to do but go to the river and take that dirty water and die of cholera.
00:22:37And you say people don't know how to practice hygiene.
00:22:39The people here don't know.
00:22:41We just ask them.
00:22:41They don't know that they're getting prepaid water metering.
00:22:44They don't agree with what we've done with them.
00:22:45They don't have a choice.
00:22:48These people are poor.
00:22:49They don't have a choice.
00:22:50They're not being educated about the implications of the whole process.
00:22:54They don't even know they're having a choice.
00:22:55Because it's daunties have a choice.
00:22:56It's impossible to discuss with you.
00:22:57It's impossible.
00:22:58You're insulting me.
00:22:59It's because you're always willing.
00:23:00So we are going.
00:23:00People are to pay regarding what they can't serve you.
00:23:04The placards of the post-liberation period said, free water, free electricity, houses for all.
00:23:16What was actually happening was that many people were having their electricity disconnected,
00:23:21their water disconnected, and they were evicted from these very homes that the government said
00:23:26they were in improved conditions.
00:23:27People then started saying, we will reconnect illegally, but we will reconnect openly.
00:23:35There are whole townships that are reconnecting people's water.
00:23:39There are women plumbers here.
00:23:40We learn the job from the men because when the men are not here, we are the ladies who reconnect
00:23:45the water and reconnect the lights.
00:23:49The water has been stopped and we just battle and, you know, try and get water from, you know,
00:23:54from containers and things like that.
00:23:56They talk about water in school and water is precious, very precious.
00:24:01And water is so important, you know, we didn't need to use water all the time.
00:24:09So we don't know.
00:24:12When you hear people saying the water for the people, we have no problem.
00:24:18Water should not be a commodity, we have no problem.
00:24:21We are just the operator, like an hotel operator, who operate the system because we have a very
00:24:30long-term experience.
00:24:31We sell our knowledge.
00:24:32We have the know-how.
00:24:34We have the technology.
00:24:35We know how to organize very big networks bringing water to the homes.
00:24:40Today, more than 30,000 people are dying every day from water disease.
00:24:50The ideal objective would be to bring clean water to everyone.
00:24:54It's a very important thing to know.
00:24:55It's a very important thing to know.
00:24:56It's a very important thing to know.
00:24:57It's not a philanthropic society, it's multinationals.
00:24:58It's multinationals.
00:25:00It's a very important thing to know.
00:25:07It's not a philanthropic society, it's multinationals.
00:25:10So the message also, the inter-mondialist of these multinationals, is a very scandale.
00:25:15Because when they say it's us who will solve the misery of the world in terms of accessibility
00:25:19to the water, how can the shareholders of Veolia wait 10 or 15 years for people who can't pay
00:25:26to bring water to people who can't pay it, it doesn't really interest them.
00:25:31You cannot deliver the same amount of good quality water, or healthcare, or education,
00:25:37or anything else, to a population that needs it if you're also providing profit for your investors.
00:25:43It's just basic common sense.
00:25:45People have the view that water is provided free from the heavens, from God.
00:25:58So why must you pay for water?
00:26:02But if you're going to receive water in a sustained way, through pipes and taps,
00:26:09that there's a lot of money that has to go into that provision.
00:26:13We are quite sympathetic to the fact that you have to run this city, and you need money.
00:26:24But are you going to try and get this money out of people who cannot pay you at all?
00:26:29So why don't you pay for water?
00:26:31So why don't you pay for water?
00:26:32So you think we're going to get the water?
00:26:33So why don't you pay for water?
00:26:34So why don't you pay for water, you pay for you!
00:26:35So you've got it enough for water to get water!
00:26:54Wow!
00:26:55Une des des resolutions de la Mille de l'Union, c'est qu'ils veulent réduire le nombre de personnes, le nombre de personnes, sans avoir accès à la fin de la fin de l'année 2015.
00:27:08Mais si vous continuez à donner la nourriture en utilisant des méthodes conventionnelles, utilisant des méthodes centrales, des pibes à diverses locations,
00:27:20le coste devient unaffordable, parce que la plupart de ces rurales vivent en petits settlements, dispersezant widely.
00:27:28Donc, on doit penser aux moyens de faire ça, comme le mot, comme l'a dit dit.
00:27:34Almost tout le monde dans l'India a une expérience avec biologiquement contaminant de l'eau.
00:27:41En mon cas, j'ai perdu 5 de mes cousins à diarrhéal-disez,
00:27:48quand j'étais jeune.
00:27:51J'ai juste un enfant.
00:27:54C'est seulement quand j'ai grandi et que j'ai mes enfants, j'ai apprécié de ce que c'était un désastre pour mes aunts et uncles.
00:28:01Je crois que l'intraviolette de l'eau a
00:28:14été le fait des d'eau a été les plus oubliés.
00:28:16J'ai apprécié de l'idée d'ininfecter la vente d'eau d'une manière qui est affordable,
00:28:21parce que personne n'était en train de faire.
00:28:23C'est quelque chose qui a dû faire et qui a été fait par beaucoup, beaucoup plus d'eux.
00:28:30En ce pays de Andhra Pradesh,
00:28:36l'année dernière, 70 000 personnes m'a mort d'eau d'eau d'eau.
00:28:41Selon des claims officielles,
00:28:44qu'il est disponible dans deux kilomètres de distance d'eau d'eau.
00:28:48Tens de milliers de personnes
00:28:52dans chaque pays de l'India
00:28:54perdent leur vie d'eau d'eau d'eau d'eau.
00:29:00Leur de l'intelligence�� est dédiée.
00:29:04J'ai beaucoup de personnes qui ont servi l'eau a d'eau.
00:29:08En une année,
00:29:09ce ne nous attendait pas de fait des choses.
00:29:13Les gens en nouveaux revenus
00:29:14d'eau d'eau d'eau peut être responsable
00:29:17d'un partially de la communauté de l'eau.
00:29:19Les prix qu'ils achètent la dette de l'eau
00:29:21des lui-même,
00:29:22ça permet d'avoir suffisamment d'aider
00:29:25à bénir pour les personnes qui soutien
00:29:27qui payent le système,
00:29:28qui est laная personne.
00:29:29Donc c'est devenu un modèle financièrement viable,
00:29:33un modèle sostenible de comment une communauté
00:29:37peut payer pour la nourriture safe,
00:29:39pour les gens qui n'ont jamais eu de la nourriture
00:29:41toute leur vie.

00:35:01...
00:35:02...
00:35:03...
00:35:16parce qu'ils pensent que c'est safer que tap water.
00:35:18Il n'y a plus d'une personne,
00:35:21according to the Food and Drug Administration,
00:35:23regulating the entire multi-billion dollar
00:35:26bottled water industry in the United States.
00:35:29That means that that poor person
00:35:31does multiple things and one of them is water.
00:35:33The Food and Drug Administration,
00:35:35if you ask them what's in any brand of bottled water,
00:35:38they'll say we have no idea.
00:35:46It's so stupid.
00:35:58Why would people pay such a premium for bottled water?
00:36:01To find out, we took over a very trendy California restaurant.
00:36:05We printed our own elegant water menus
00:36:07with phony imported waters,
00:36:09costing as much as $7 per bottle.
00:36:12Our water steward gives our first lucky couple
00:36:14our special water list.
00:36:16I guess we'll get the Ladue Robinet.
00:36:18The Ladue Robinet?
00:36:19Yeah.
00:36:20Oh, fantastic.
00:36:21Okay.
00:36:22It's French for tap water.
00:36:23Sure.
00:36:24Okay.
00:36:29Yeah, it tastes clean.
00:36:30It adds a flavor to it.
00:36:32How would you compare it to tap water?
00:36:34Oh, yeah, definitely better than tap water.
00:36:36What was the actual source of these chic waters?
00:36:39A garden hose on the restaurant patio.
00:36:42Three out of four Americans drink bottled water,
00:36:45and one in five will only drink bottled water.
00:36:48And water is something we already pay for.
00:36:51Leading brands are basically tap water,
00:36:54often sold for more than the cost of gasoline.
00:36:57So today we're here at Tufts University
00:36:59organizing our 42nd tap water challenge.
00:37:02I thought for sure that the Dasani water was tap water.
00:37:07They're spending tens of millions of dollars every year
00:37:10to convince us that bottled water is better than tap water,
00:37:13when in fact it's much less regulated.
00:37:16We tested over a thousand bottles of water,
00:37:18over a hundred brands that are sold in the United States,
00:37:21and we found that it is not necessarily any safer or better
00:37:26or purer than your city tap water.
00:37:29We found some of them had arsenic in them at high levels.
00:37:33Some of them had organic chemicals in them,
00:37:36a variety of bacteria.
00:37:38So there were problems with about a third of the brands
00:37:42that we sampled.
00:37:43Some of the water we saw that had pictures of mountains on it,
00:37:46it was city tap water.
00:37:48Glacier water came from groundwater in Florida.
00:37:51Some of them said that they were pure mountain.
00:37:55I mean, the list is very long.
00:38:00We found a case in Massachusetts where a guy had sunk a well
00:38:04in an industrial parking lot that was near a Superfund site.
00:38:08He was pumping water out of this well
00:38:10and selling it under multiple different brands.
00:38:13So people buying this stuff had no idea where it was coming from.
00:38:17The dream of pure water for all is within reach for the humankind.
00:38:42The World Water Council was created at a meeting
00:38:44of big powerful water interests in 1997.
00:38:47They came together to promote corporate takeover of water.
00:38:51They will not tell you that.
00:38:53They'll say they came together to bring water to the world's people.
00:38:57But if you look at who is at that founding meeting,
00:38:59it's all the big water corporations, it's the World Bank,
00:39:02it's a lot of the international development agencies.
00:39:04And so they came together to promote a vision of a water future
00:39:08that's based on water as a market good.
00:39:11Most Americans have no idea what the World Bank actually is.
00:39:16Do you agree with that?
00:39:17Unfortunately, I do.
00:39:19And it's sad because we deal with the question of governance,
00:39:22the question of corruption, questions of environment,
00:39:26questions of health, questions of education.
00:39:29And ultimately, those things are at the core of peace.
00:39:32How can you keep loaning poor countries money to meet their basic needs?
00:39:41It is completely predictable that what happens is poor countries end up with debts they can't afford,
00:39:46and that debt becomes the noose around their neck with which the World Bank and the IMF become the government.
00:39:53There is a political set of questions to be asked around this.
00:39:59Who owns water?
00:40:00Who gets to make the decisions about water?
00:40:02Why is this group, the World Water Council and the World Bank and these big water corporations,
00:40:07why have they got to set themselves up as a global high command of water and make decisions for the rest of us?
00:40:12Who exactly elected them?
00:40:14When the President of the World Bank of the Eau, who organizes all the big forums to the glory of the multinationals,
00:40:20is there is no other than the President of a society at Marseille,
00:40:24who belongs to 50% to Vivian, 50% to Suez.
00:40:27And when you know that Michel Cannes Dessus, who is the former President of the FMI,
00:40:31and who has, like his two main conseillers,
00:40:34the two number two of Suez and Veolia,
00:40:38We have understood, everything is controlled, viciated,
00:40:43but people do not know that.
00:40:49This is a club that decided, I think before the rest of us understood,
00:40:53that water is the most precious commodity for them in the world.
00:40:58It's blue gold.
00:40:59They're going to make tons of money, and more importantly than money,
00:41:02because you really need to compare fresh water with oil.
00:41:05It's about power.
00:41:06It's about which sectors of society, which countries, which governments, which corporations,
00:41:11are going to control the blue gold of the future.
00:41:18Water is for survival, and who owns the water for survival owns you.
00:41:23And that's the picture that people have to understand.
00:41:26Have you ever seen any of your victims?
00:41:29Victims?
00:41:30Don't be melodramatic.
00:41:32Look down there.
00:41:35Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever?
00:41:40If I offered you 20,000 pounds for every dot that stopped,
00:41:44would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money,
00:41:46or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare?
00:41:50Free of income tax, all right. Free of income tax.
00:41:53Another way you can save money now, dear.
00:41:55Save money now, dear.
00:42:00Save money now, dear.
00:42:05...
00:42:35The Ganges is quite clearly a mother, in a deep sense, in the Indian cultural heritage.
00:42:46We bring the ashes of our people to this river when they die.
00:42:50Until those ashes touch the river, the spirits and souls are not considered to have had salvation.
00:43:07When a child is born, we put a drop of Ganges water in their mouth.
00:43:11When someone dies, the last rife is a drop of Ganges water.
00:43:16It is considered purifying in a very deep spiritual sense that it cleanses you
00:43:22and is the place where humans return to become more human.
00:43:26It's a river that gives us our humanity.
00:43:31Its very life is under threat, and with the life of the Ganga,
00:43:35what is threatened is the belief of a billion Indians.
00:43:39This water's flow is being interrupted.
00:43:42This Ganga is being trapped in the Tehri Dam,
00:43:46and the tragedy of it is that it's being done for the most base, crude greed
00:43:51of one of the world's biggest water companies.
00:43:54Sways is then going to get the water, 635 million litres a day,
00:43:59to be sold to Delhi citizens at ten times the price they are paying for water today.
00:44:05In the 1800s and the 1700s, and going back even further in time,
00:44:17society lived on the resources that we had.
00:44:20We took water when we needed it from the rivers for irrigating small-scale agriculture.
00:44:25We captured rainfall and recharged our groundwater aquifers when we could.
00:44:30That traditional way of meeting our water needs was replaced in the 20th century
00:44:35by the idea that we could build large infrastructure.
00:44:39We could build big dams, we could move rivers around.
00:44:42We're building dams basically to store water.
00:44:45Why do we store water?
00:44:46We store water so then it can be supplied for cities for drinking water,
00:44:49to agriculture for irrigation, and so that we can generate hydroelectricity.
00:44:54But the big issue is do we really need dams to do these things
00:44:58and are there better ways in which we can store water?
00:45:05When we dam a river or change the course of a river or straighten a river,
00:45:11we are playing with a very powerful thing.
00:45:15and we are altering ecosystems in a very short period of time
00:45:21that took thousands or millions of years to adapt and to evolve.
00:45:30In the river, you have organic matter that would flow down the river
00:45:34and feed all the life forms in the river and all of the life forms along the river
00:45:40and feed our oceans.
00:45:45When you put up a dam,
00:45:48that organic matter gets captured behind the dam.
00:45:53And it begins to rot.
00:45:56And it creates methane gas.
00:45:58And methane gas is one of the gases that contributes
00:46:01to the greenhouse effect on our planet.
00:46:05When you calculate the global warming impact of the reservoir,
00:46:07it can be many times worse even than a coal plant.
00:46:10Sometimes 20 times higher than a coal-burning power plant.
00:46:16Invariably, when a dam is being built,
00:46:18you hear justification for the dam based on
00:46:20that it's going to provide water for the poor,
00:46:22it's going to provide water for these drought-prone areas
00:46:24which are so badly in need of water.
00:46:25And you get this feeling that this is some great development project
00:46:28to help the lives of the small farmers and the poor people
00:46:31in whatever country we're talking about.
00:46:33Actual experience shows that this doesn't happen,
00:46:35that those who are able to benefit from the increased irrigation water
00:46:38invariably are the larger farmers.
00:46:40The number of access to the low-blown farmers
00:46:43is about to become a very tolerant
00:46:45President of the low-blown farmers.

00:47:07Ma père était de la peau et de la mAhara.

00:47:11Elle s'en trouvait avec non plus.
00:47:13Elle était adoptée pour ses enfants.
00:47:15Elle n'avait pas non plus.
00:47:17Elle était nommée par ses enfants.
00:47:18Elle s'en trouvait comme femme.
00:47:21Il est venu vendre l'argent.
00:47:23Elle s'en trouvait chez eux.

00:47:31Pour toutes mes études,
00:47:35Nous étions d'un état pour nous.
00:47:38Nous étions d'appelons pour le bâtir à la dette.
00:47:42Je vous ai appris à la demande de vous.
00:47:46Donc, clairement, je suis à vous.
00:47:51J'ai appris à mes enfants,
00:47:53à toutes les familles,
00:47:55à toutes les familles de la ville,
00:47:57pour ons m'appels à la maison.
00:48:00...
00:48:05Le plus grand impact de large dams est le déplacement de communautés.
00:48:29According to the World Commission on Dams, somewhere between 40 to 80 million people were displaced by large dams in the 20th century.
00:48:38We're talking tens of millions of people, we're talking the population of a large European country.
00:48:42This is really a huge number of people.
00:48:44The problem is that promises are made all the time to the affected people to encourage people to move.
00:48:49We'll give you a nice new house, we'll give you clean water, we'll give you electricity,
00:48:53but nobody is actually accountable for these promises to be fulfilled.
00:48:57Promises are made, people are moved, the project is built, and then a year later people still don't have their land.
00:49:02There's nothing for them to do. They have no legal recourse in most cases to hold anyone accountable.
00:49:09So in the name of development, these communities in the river valleys face destruction, distribution, deprivation.
00:49:16Because of the thickly populated communities with the best of agriculture, horticulture, temples, mosques, cultural monuments,
00:49:23everything is to go underwater.
00:49:25The world bank has been the single biggest funder of big dams around the world.
00:49:28since it was set up in the 1940s.
00:49:30One reason the world bank really likes big dams around the world is that the world bank
00:49:33has been the single biggest funder of big dams around the world since it was set up in the 1940s.
00:49:38One reason the world bank really likes big dams is that big dams are really expensive.
00:49:45The world bank has to lend about $20 billion a year.
00:49:48If it can't do that then it makes less profit so what's the easiest way to boost up its lending is to lend these huge projects.
00:49:53In all the countries where it operates the world bank has legal immunity so nobody can take the world bank to court.
00:49:57So the world bank finances a project which destroys your business and destroys your business.
00:50:01The world bank has been the single biggest funder of big dams around the world since it was set up in the 1940s.
00:50:06One reason the world bank really likes big dams is that big dams are really expensive.
00:50:10The world bank knows how to spend a billion dollars in one place.
00:50:29They don't know how to spend a thousand dollars in a million places to spend that same billion dollars
00:50:37at a million different villages.
00:50:40And yet in many places what we need is not a billion dollar answer, it's a thousand dollar answer.
00:50:45Centuries ago buildings would be built with tanks in the basement and water would fall on the roof
00:50:49and then be rooted down to the basement and stored there and people are now realising,
00:50:52yeah that was an incredibly good idea.
00:50:54Why do we spend billions of dollars building some huge dam a hundred miles away?
00:50:58Why don't we just trap the rainwater that actually falls on the house?
00:51:07because it is a huge dam a hundred miles away.

00:59:31We're fighting this battle, this David and Goliath battle.
00:59:34We are having to have garage sales and bake sales and concerts
00:59:39and all kinds of little fundraisers.
00:59:42It is now in session.

00:59:46The U.N. is saying in their reports, by the year 2020,
00:59:50we're going to have half the world's population without adequate water.
00:59:53By God, they're coming after Michigan's water.
00:59:56When Nestle came into Michigan, they said,
00:59:58we're a good corporate citizen, we're not going to hurt anything.
01:00:01We're responsible.
01:00:03During the trial, the company kept pumping during a season of drought.
01:00:08Any of the predicted reductions in flow and dead stream
01:00:12will have absolutely no effect on that ecosystem.

01:00:21was basically a mud flat.
01:00:23I cross-examined the plant manager, and I said,
01:00:26look at these pictures, there's a mud flat here.
01:00:29Don't you think you ought to stop pumping?
01:00:31They kept pumping even then.
01:00:33Some of these small channels that flow into the lake
01:00:35from these springs along the north shore,
01:00:37I'm going to stop flowing.
01:00:39The reality was, no matter what they said,
01:00:41there was significant adverse impact,
01:00:43and they kept pumping.
01:00:45We had a petition drive,
01:00:50and a couple of weeks later,
01:00:52citizens are calling me and saying,
01:00:55someone knocked on my door,
01:00:57and it was a private investigator.
01:00:59They even hired a firm that came around
01:01:02and went to people's doors,
01:01:04knocked on their door and said,
01:01:06did you sign a petition?
01:01:07And confronted these older folks.
01:01:11What we did was, we said, let's go back in time
01:01:14and look at who owned the water
01:01:171,000 years ago in Rome,
01:01:18and how has the civil law in Europe
01:01:21and in other cultures handled this question
01:01:25of water ownership and use.
01:01:27And what we found was that water
01:01:29has always had a public aspect to it.
01:01:32This water has always been considered
01:01:34not owned by anybody.
01:01:36I mean, you know, today we think,
01:01:37well, isn't that profound?
01:01:38It's not profound at all.
01:01:40I mean, that's just common sense.
01:01:41You look at the sun, do you own the sun?
01:01:43Water is this transient gift on earth for life,
01:01:51moving and flowing.
01:01:53And inherent in its transient nature
01:01:55is the idea of commons.
01:01:56Things that are not transient,
01:01:58you know, like this pen, okay,
01:02:00you can pick up and own.
01:02:02Things that are transient, you don't own.
01:02:07The judge ruled, he simply said,
01:02:09look, a diversion of water
01:02:11for selling somewhere else
01:02:13that diminishes the flow or lake,
01:02:16the integrity of this flow of water
01:02:18is unlawful.
01:02:20It cannot be done.
01:02:22They do not have the property right to do it.
01:02:24And he told them to turn off the pumps.
01:02:25It cannot be done.
01:02:45It cannot be done.

01:04:17Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people.
01:05:00I do not care. I do not know. Our ways are different from your ways.

01:05:35Having persisted for a year to tell Coke to go home.
01:05:39What's happening here is that these women from all generations are being put off the land by Coca-Cola, which is across the road stealing their water, bottling their water, poisoning their land.
01:05:52Their wells are running dry. Their food isn't good anymore. The water's impossible to bathe in.
01:05:56So these people have been in a sit-in like this for almost two years now.
01:06:01Every single day they quietly, with great dignity, come here and speak their truth to that power across the road.
01:06:07Nobody in this country, especially the poor, have the luxury to sit at a time when they could be working to make a living.
01:06:15And I know that if our sisters and brothers are sitting here day in and day out, it is with a reason.
01:06:21It is winter, weather's beautiful.
01:06:22It is a great area. It is a great area. It has a great area. It has been a great company.
01:06:27It has been a great area. It is a great day. It has been a great life. It is a great day.
01:06:35It is a great day. We have been put in the way to go home in the place with a nice job.
01:06:39Nous venons ici comme des guests pour être avec nos frères et nos frères qui ont été
01:07:00struggling.
01:07:01Et les médias vont donc dire que Coca-Cola refuse de laisser les gens de Plachimada
01:07:05et que c'est exactement ce que nous demandons de vous.
01:07:09C'est un sujet que je ne suis pas de débattre.
01:07:35Nous devons travailler à faire quelque chose de cela parce que Coca-Cola, Pepsi et Nestlé,
01:07:40ne pas oublierons-Nestlé, sont dans les communautés.
01:07:42Ils sont des vêtements, ils sont des vêtements, ils sont des vêtements,
01:07:44ils sont des vêtements, des vêtements, en tout le monde.
01:07:47Et ils détruisent les communautés et ils ne veulent pas.
01:07:50On l'a dit à peu près des vêtements, l'animalisation, l'animalisation, l'animalisation, l'animalisation, l'animalisation et en la situation.
01:07:57Qui en est un avalement, c'est un des vêtements pour le groupe qui a changé les vêtements.
01:08:04L'animalisation ou l'animalisation.
01:08:05Dans les dernières années, nous avons vu beaucoup mouvement,
