Water rights and wrongs: a young people's summary of the United Nations Human Development Report 2006, Beyond Scarcity: power, poverty, and the global water crisis

Aimed at young people, this booklet presents key points from the 2006 Human Development Report on water scarcity and its effects on human life. The report is user-friendly, using photographs and illustrations, stories from young people, basic data on the health effects of poor-quality water, and examples of efforts to bring water to poor communities. It argues that the problem is not a global water shortage, but poverty and inequality that cause a lack of access to clean water.The booklet concludes with suggestions for young people on how they might act to address their own problems or help others through advocacy.
