The Winter 2006/07 Salvanet is Now ON-LINE!
Water as a Public Right

The Winter 2006-2007 issue of Salvanet looks at water in El Salvador. Only sixty percent of Salvadorans have access to potable water: what about the other 40%? Is Salvadoran water management sustainable in the long term? Will it be possible for Salvadorans to stop the effort by the IDB and Multi-national Corporations to convert water from a basic human right into a commodity? How are clergy and faith-based groups getting involved?

The edition touches on these and other issues. We've even included a resource guide for worship on water and reprinted the "Water for Life" statement, adopted at the World Council of Churches' Ninth Assembly earlier this year.
