Cleanwaterforum : A forum to discuss how to achieve universal access to safe, physically accessible, sufficient and affordable, clean water.

We set up this blog to discuss issues surrounding universal access to safe, physically accessible, sufficient and affordable clean water. These issues include, but are not limited to: 1) whether access to clean water should be enshrined as a fundamental human right; 2) how to respond to the increasingly prevalent treatment of water as a commodity rather than a public good (corporate social responsibility and water); 3) clean water as global health issue; 4) clean water as a poverty issue; 5) clean water as a global security issue; 6) clean water as a gender issue.

Australia considers "scarcity pricing"

Higher prices during dry times, lower prices during wet......as well as a tiered system with households being charged more for greater usage. Household usage however, is not where most of our water goes - it's mostly destined for agriculture or industry - will pricing reform for large-scale water use drive up food prices?
