Most people know that water covers about two-thirds of the entire planet\u2019s surface, but fewer are aware that most of that is saltwater, and only about 2.5 percent is freshwater suitable for drinking and growing food.

Animal agriculture\u2019s water consumption varies greatly by country, however: for instance, in the US, animal agriculture accounts for nearly half of all freshwater used every year, with a withdrawal rate of about 1.8 billion gallons per day.<sup>[9]<\/sup><\/p><p>Irrigating crops fed to animals raised for food is by far the industry\u2019s main use of water. According to a Cornell University study, 253 million tons of grain are fed to these animals in the US every year, requiring a total of 66 trillion gallons of water to produce.<sup>[10]<\/sup>\u00a0Animal agriculture also uses water for:<\/p><p>&#8211; hydration (providing water for animals to drink);<br \/>&#8211; cleaning (hosing down animals and facilities, and flushing out waste);<br \/>&#8211; processing (slaughter, evisceration and de-boning);<br \/>&#8211; rendering (turning unused body parts into by-products); and<br \/>&#8211; leather tanning (soaking hides to remove salt and dirt).<sup>[11]<\/sup><\/p><p>\u201cMeat\u201d production also requires differing amounts of water depending on the species of animal being \u00abprocessed.\u00bb For instance, pig production consumes the most water of any livestock sector because many factory farms rely on \u201cflushing systems\u201d\u2014basically, the pigs live on slatted floors through which their waste drops into water troughs underneath that are periodically drained, conveying manure to slurry lagoons.<sup>[12]<\/sup>\u00a0On a per-\u201cunit\u201d basis, processing \u201cpoultry\u201d (i.e., \u201cmeat\u201d from chickens, turkeys and ducks) trends toward greater water use than pig or cow production. This is due to the use of water for additional processes, like stunning birds into paralysis using electrified water \u201cbaths\u201d before cutting their throats, scalding still-living birds in boiling water prior to de-feathering, transporting unsalable body parts (like heads and feet) to rendering piles using chutes, and preserving carcasses by chilling them in tanks.<sup>[13]<\/sup>\u00a0As one of the primary causes of water pollution in the world, industrialized animal agriculture also depletes the world\u2019s freshwater supply by contaminating it with manure, fertilizer runoff and other toxic compounds. Although some of the freshwater used by the industry is reused or recycled, between 80 and 95 percent of it becomes wastewater. This residue typically contains blood, feces, hair, fat, feathers, and bones, and may also harbor pathogens (such as Salmonella) that can infect drinking water and make people sick.<sup>[14]<\/sup><\/p><h2>Water privatization: Corporate vs. civic control<\/h2><p>Water is a right and can be conserved for the benefit of all, yet the animal agriculture industry uses and pollutes a disproportionate share of this essential resource even while millions of people die every year for lack of clean water. But as scarcity increases, water\u2019s value as an economic commodity rises\u2014and multinational conglomerates are only too eager to profit from this deteriorating situation by buying up water rights on every continent. Like the animal agriculture industry\u2019s overuse of water, privatization is another major threat to the world\u2019s freshwater supply.<\/p><p>About 90 percent of the world&#8217;s freshwater stocks currently remain under public control, but privatization is becoming more common as revenue-strapped governments increasingly cannot afford to maintain and repair crumbling municipal water purification and delivery systems often built decades ago.<sup>[15]<\/sup>\u00a0Historically, however, in places where privatization has been established, it has proven to be another cause of\u2014rather than a solution to\u2014chronic water shortage problems. That is, because corporations are (by their nature) more concerned with making money than serving people\u2019s and communities\u2019 best interests, water privatization has led to corruption, lack of corporate accountability, loss of local agency, weakened water quality standards, and steep rate hikes that eliminate poor people\u2019s access to water.<\/p><h3>Example 1: Nestl\u00e9 in the US<\/h3><figure id=\"attachment_35809\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35809\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/plastic-beach-pollution-679-419-679x419-1-300x185.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-35809 size-medium lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"185\" \/><noscript><img data-src=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/plastic-beach-pollution-679-419-679x419-1-300x185.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/plastic-beach-pollution-679-419-679x419-1-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/plastic-beach-pollution-679-419-679x419-1-500x309.jpg 500w, https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/plastic-beach-pollution-679-419-679x419-1.jpg 679w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35809 size-medium lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"185\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35809 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/plastic-beach-pollution-679-419-679x419-1-300x185.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/plastic-beach-pollution-679-419-679x419-1-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/plastic-beach-pollution-679-419-679x419-1-500x309.jpg 500w, https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/plastic-beach-pollution-679-419-679x419-1.jpg 679w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/noscript><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plastic waste polluting the beach<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Nestl\u00e9, one of the largest food corporations in the world, is also in the water business, leasing or owning 50 spring sites throughout the US.<sup>[16]<\/sup>\u00a0However, in many places where Nestl\u00e9 operates, they have unlawfully extracted water from aquifers,<sup>[17]<\/sup>\u00a0engaged in price-gouging tactics,<sup>[18]<\/sup>\u00a0and polarized communities.<sup>[19]<\/sup>\u00a0For example, in Colorado, over a period of a few years, Nestl\u00e9 spent a large amount of money negotiating a water deal with the three-member Board of Chaffee County Commissioners and with the Aurora City Council, while buying land in the areas near where the Arkansas River runs. Close to 80 percent of the county\u2019s 17,000 residents opposed the deal,<sup>[20]<\/sup>\u00a0mainly because environmentalists (citing Nestl\u00e9\u2019s detrimental impact in communities where they already operate) raised alarms about the potentially devastating consequences for Aurora City\u2019s watershed and nearby wetlands.<sup>[21]<\/sup>\u00a0After a 7 to 4 vote of approval by the Aurora City Council and a unanimous agreement by the Chaffee County Commissioners, over the next decade Nestl\u00e9 will extract 650 million gallons of Arkansas Valley water so that every day they can load 25 trucks with 8,000 gallons of water, drive 120 miles to a bottling plant in Denver, and fill millions of plastic Arrowhead Springs water bottles to be sold in the western US.<sup>[22]<\/sup>In addition to being targeted by locals who want control of their water sources back, Nestl\u00e9 is also at the epicenter of the growing bottled water controversy. The company dominates nearly a third of the lucrative US bottled water market<sup>[23]<\/sup>\u00a0with seven domestically-produced subsidiary brands (including Arrowhead Springs, Calistoga and Poland Spring)\u2014making Nestl\u00e9 a key contributor to one of today\u2019s most significant environmental threats. That is, US consumers purchase about 28 billion bottles of water every year, but recycle only about 23 percent of the plastic petroleum-based containers used for water or soda. The rest end up polluting roadsides, landfills and oceans, and leach toxins into ecosystems while taking about a millennium to degrade.<sup>[24]<\/sup><\/p><h3>Example 2: Vivendi and Suez in Mexico<\/h3><p>Water privatization now has a firm foothold in Mexico, thanks to President Vincente Fox\u2019s PROMAGUA initiative, which uses a $250 million World Bank grant to promote privatization of the country\u2019s water resources. This program, now operational in 27 of Mexico\u2019s 30 states, encourages cities with populations of 100,000 or more to sign their water concessions over to corporations for contracts lasting between five and fifty years. This has allowed Vivendi and Suez, two major players in the water game, to partner with smaller companies to turn one-fifth of Mexico\u2019s municipal water systems into profit-making businesses. However, in the process of making massive amounts of money from Mexico\u2019s formerly public utilities, these multinational corporations have drastically raised rates, cut service to customers who can\u2019t pay their bills, weakened water quality, and skimped on making essential infrastructure improvements.<sup>[25]<\/sup>\u00a0While these two companies are foreign-owned, they also have large operations in the US. Vivendi became North America\u2019s largest water company in 1999 after purchasing US Filter (a leading manufacturer of commercial and residential water purification systems).<sup>[26]<\/sup>\u00a0Suez, meanwhile, is the parent company of United Water, the second-largest private operator of municipal water systems in the US\u2014where it has established a reputation for environmental destructiveness. For example, Suez has been responsible for sewage overflows in Milwaukee, Wisc.; contaminating drinking water in Gloucester, Mass.; and dozens of discharge limit violations in Gary, Ind.<sup>[27]<\/sup>\u00a0So if Suez, Vivendi or another private corporation tries to take control of your community\u2019s municipal water system, be sure to join or organize an effort to keep this resource in public hands.<\/p><h3>Example 3: Bechtel in Bolivia<\/h3><p>The persistent pattern of social, environmental and economic abuse committed by water privateers has sparked a global movement opposing corporate control of community resources that has won some decisive battles. Among the most famous of these victories was the Bolivian uprising against the Bechtel Corporation, the fifth largest privately-owned company in the US,<sup>[28]<\/sup>\u00a0which had taken over the Cochabamba region\u2019s water supply in 1999. The company raised rates by 300 percent,<sup>[29]<\/sup>cutting off service to people who could no longer afford water\u2014and even prevented residents from collecting rainwater unless they obtained a legal permit. Bechtel\u2019s oppressive policies prompted several months of massive riots, which dissuaded foreign investors from doing business in the country. Bechtel subsequently abandoned their Cochabamban operation in 2000, surrendering control of the water supply back to the people,<sup>[30]<\/sup>\u00a0but the struggle against water privatization continues in Bolivia<sup>[31]<\/sup>\u00a0and other South American nations.<sup>[32]<\/sup><\/p><h3>Example 4: Coca-Cola in India<\/h3><p>Soon after a Coca-Cola Company plant was licensed to manufacture their beverages in the village of Plachimada, they started unlawfully pumping an additional 1.5 million liters of water a day from local reserves. This caused the water table to fall\u2014leaving farmers without enough water to irrigate their crops, and draining the community\u2019s drinking water supply. While Coca-Cola stole the people\u2019s water, the company\u2019s plant produced waste that contaminated agricultural fields, underground wells and free-flowing canals, forcing residents to walk for miles just to get clean drinking water. In response, Plachimadans started a movement to shut the bottling plant down that gained international attention. Their rallying cry: \u201cWhen you drink Coke, you drink the blood of the people!\u201d The protesters successfully drove Coca-Cola out in 2004, when the plant was officially closed, inspiring dozens of other campaigns throughout the country against soda production plants that exploit local water supplies.<sup>[33]<\/sup>\u00a0Yet private corporations continue to take over India\u2019s municipal water resources with similarly disastrous effects.<sup>[34]<\/sup><\/p><h2>How You Can Help<\/h2><p>You can radically reduce your dietary water consumption by <a title=\"F.E.P. Veganism\" href=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/veganism\/\">going vegan<\/a>, because growing plant foods requires far less water than producing animal products.<sup>[35]<\/sup>\u00a0You can also make a difference by not buying bottled water and boycotting companies like Nestl\u00e9 and Coca-Cola, whose water privatization schemes hurt people and the environment.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><\/p><div
