The Loss of Local Water Ownership to Corporate Privatization
In drought-prone and economically vulnerable regions, external corporations routinely acquire municipal water rights to bottle and export local groundwater.

Extracting local water for distant markets leaves vulnerable communities without reliable access to essential natural resources, undermining their health, local economy, and everyday survival.
