Here is a video from the Voice of America featuring an interview with Richard Taylor, one of the authors of the recent Africa groundwater study. It's a good interview; Taylor explains things nicely and is not given to hyperbole.
Here is the story from the Voice of America.
And now for something completely different - here is a story titled, IMPERIALIST NGO'S EYE AFRICA’S MASSIVE UNDERGROUND WATER RESERVES.
But there is something even better In this story: there is a link to another rant, Geostrategic Basis Of Libyan War: Hydrological Warfare And Energy. It's written by someone from Harvard University. Read it for yourself; I can't explain it easily, but rest assured that NATO, the CIA, France, et al., figure prominently.
Sample these two paragraphs:
Today France’s global mega-water companies like Suez, Ondeo and Saur, control more than 45 per cent of the world’s water market and are rushing to privatize water, already a $400 billion global business. For these French companies, Libya will be a bonanza. No wonder Le Monde coined it ”Sarkozy’s War” and had a ”Victoire” front page splash when Mr Gaddafi’s compound was stormed.
Late last year, the Central Intelligence Agency suspiciously raised the spectre of ”future ‘hydrological warfare’ in which rivers, lakes and aquifers become national security assets to be fought over,” or controlled through proxy armies and client states. Regime change in Libya is the first major instance of hydrological warfare.
No links or references; just blather.
First things first: the USA will have to wait to steal Libya's water. We have to drain the Guarani aquifer.
I think I just discovered my April Fools' Day post for 2013!
