1/5 This movie sucks.
  by M. Fix
Obtaining clean water is a problem. . . however this movie is dull and boring.

1. It's organized poorly.

2. It says things which are dead wrong like "Once you use the water in a lake it is gone forever." No, water in lakes are continually replenished. Infact you can build lakes, ponds, etc. to hold water.

3. It doesn't spend enough time on any one specific problem. I wanted to know about the water problem in Atlanta, Georgia. The movie says three sentences and then moves on.

5/5 THE most important movie on water
  by Momma Nelli
I work for a non-profit water association and I showed this video at a seminar. It was a HUGE hit! The information contained in this movie could make or break it for future generations. How do we keep the world from running out of water? A MUST-SEE for anyone concerned with water and it's future.

5/5 A Must See for All!
  by Susan Smith (Houston, TX United States)
Fantastic documentary that is something that should be shown in every school, in every nation. Points out what most of us know, but take for granted, that our resources are limited and water is even more important than oil for humanity to continue.

Would highly recommend to all. You won't be disappointed.

4/5 A useful study of the global water crisis
  by Future Watch Writer (Washington, D.C. Area)
We hear a lot about a global oil shortage. Even more ominous is the growing shortage of water in the world, a shortage being compounded by global warming which is reducing the snow melt, a key factor in creating the water flow for rivers. An ugly secret of the "green revolution" that reduced hunger has been the huge expansion of pumping out underground aquifers around the world. From Arizona to northern China water tables have been falling rapidly for years. The percentage of world crops dependent on irrigation has soared in the last 50 years. Even the US CIA sees water as a severe global crisis. I don't agree with all the points in this DVD but it serves as a wake up call about what is to come. There is a related book by the same author Blue Gold: The Fight to Stop the Corporate Theft of the World's Water. I would also recommend When the Rivers Run Dry: Water--The Defining Crisis of the Twenty-first Century.

5/5 The Real Life "Quantum of Solace"
  by K. Davis (Dunedin, FL)
We can't live without water. You may have thought it was a human right. But certain corporations have been plotting to control the water supply on this planet for a while now, and have been moving into place around the globe. Now the World Bank has required certain governments to privatize their precious water supply -- make it a corporate commodity answerable only to stockholders -- as a condition to getting a loan. In some places it is now illegal to catch rainwater, because rain is being considered private property, including the United States. The evil of this worldwide corporate grab for control of your most precious resource is practically inconceivable, but it is happening. Blue Gold: World Water Wars is a landmark documentary that every school, library and church should own and show. Do you want the cost of your water to be controlled by private corporations and stockholders only interested in their bottom line? Do you want to give up your right to the water around you, including rain? It is time to get educated and get active. Start with this film.
