My concern is that the funds may be supporting water privatization corporations that frequently create inadequate and exploitative water delivery infrastructure that is unsustainable in those communities, let alone expensive. There is no mention on the site of working with on-the-ground water advocacy organizations like the barkafoundation.org, which would usually be very apparent.
Looking at the water.org site revealed an article by the Economist that reported how corporations are engaging water as a strategic resource...exactly the problem as defined by important water documentaries like "Blue Gold" and "FLOW". On another note, if water.org is using Economist analysis as support for their work, it seems they may be part of that corporate connection, too. The corporatocracy is under deep critical resistance by the indigenous peoples in many parts of the world for their colonial, destructive and exploitative practices.
"Multinational companies have historically taken water availability for granted. But this is changing. A 2013 World Economic Forum report named water scarcity as one of the top global risks facing companies in the 21st century. So far, 93 multinational corporations have committed to the UN Global Compact’s CEO Water Mandate, a public-private partnership to advance water sustainability—an exponential increase from the original six signatories in 2007. As more business leaders recognise pressures related to water availability on their supply chains and profits, they are growing more aware of the impact of irresponsible water use on “intangible” business value such as reputation, brand and customer relations."
