BLUE GOLD: DEFENDING WATER RIGHTS FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO 
GHANA
  
Water sustains all life. We drink it, we bathe in it, we 
grow our food with it. We can't live without it. Yet 
today, water is being polluted, depleted and diverted at a 
rapid rate. One in 6 people-more than 1 billion-lack 
access to clean water. And that number will increase if we 
do not act now.  Join us for a panel discussion to discuss 
global struggles to ensure universal access to safe, 
clean, affordable water with:
