Privatization of Water: Will it Bring Greater Social Equity?

Engage in the debate that explores the pros and cons of public and private water systems in ensuring the human right to water. Safety, accessibility and reliability of water in California varies depending on where you live.  More than 1 million Californians do not have access to safe drinking water and a growing number of systems are on the brink of collapse.  These troubling statistics raise the question: Who can do it better – private or public agencies?

Join us for the first panel discussion in the Speaking of Water 2022 Series presented by Water UCI and the School of Social Ecology. Login information for this virtual program will be provided upon your RSVP.
