    Conference Paper
    The Commercialization of Common Pool Resources
    (2011) Parr, Adrian
    "Unsurprisingly, the water crisis is capturing the attention of social activists, journalists, and politicians. And it is being billed as a problem of far greater magnitude than the looming oil crisis. The reason is almost too obvious to state: A person might be able to live without food for several weeks but they cannot survive without water for more than a few days. As a result, there is a lively discussion over how to most effectively avert the crisis by restructuring systems of water management. This has spurred on a blossoming water market that has facilitated the privatization of water infrastructure, resources and technologies."
