She has just made a terrifying, informative, well researched documentary on the future of fresh  Water resources on our Planet.

The documentary is called &#8216;Flow&#8221; and is about to be released at the Angelique in NY.

Experts world wide, who I might add, do NOT live in Water Stressed parts of the world, are imposing the argument that &#8221; the only way to manage a dwindling resource is to get people to pay for it, so that they use it with care&#8221;  Feels right in theory but what price to you do set on water ? , and whatever price you set, 85 % of the people will not be able to afford it.  So we will get situations like what is already happening in these so called farm houses outside New Delhi.  No farm house is complete without a swimming pool, while the adjoining farms are running dry for lack of water and the farmers are selling their lands as they cannot grow anything. For more farm houses. Houses that are thirstily sucking out the ground water for private swimming pools !<br \/>\nWater is the new global weapon of social and control and exploitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those of you that have not heard of Irena Salina, look out for her name.
