http://www.stopcorporateabuse.org/sites/default/files/resources/cai_troubledwaters_whitepaper_webres.pdf his comparative analysis
of the U.S. and international experience with water privatization shows that:
1) Veolia and Suez, the two major water transnational corporations, behave in
the same way in the U.S. and overseas, and 2) Problems with water privatization
are systemic and not caused by local contexts.This white paper also
exposes the private water industry’s interference with public decisions and its
attempts to undermine the democratic governance of water. It provides
recommendations to public officials, to
keep public water services in public hands and enhance democratic
accountability, transparency and public participation. The white paper is available here or http://www.stopcorporateabuse.org/sites/default/files/resources/cai_troubledwaters_whitepaper_webres.pdf
