REGENTS' LECTURE:
The Global Water Crisis and the Coming Battle for the Right to Water

FREE

Maude Barlow (Chairperson, Food and Water Watch)
Tuesday, May 11 / 7:00 PM
Corwin Pavilion

By 2030, demand for fresh water will outstrip supply by forty 
percent. The global water crisis is the greatest human and ecological 
crisis of our time. Because most of us were raised with the myth of 
water abundance, we have been slow to come to terms with the enormity 
of the threat of a world without water. Maude Barlow will outline the 
nature of the crisis, including the crisis facing California, and 
offer the practical principles that could lead to a water-secure 
future.  Maude Barlow is the National Chairperson of the Council of 
Canadians and chairs the board of Washington-based Food and Water 
Watch. She is also an executive member of the San Francisco-based 
International Forum on Globalization and a Councillor with the 
Hamburg-based World Future Council. Barlow is the recipient of eight 
honorary doctorates.  She is also the best-selling author or 
co-author of 16 books, including Blue Covenant: The Global Water 
Crisis and The Coming Battle for the Right to Water.

Sponsored by the IHC's Oil+Water series, UCSB Arts & Lectures, the 
Dept. of History of Art & Architecture, the Dept. of Film and Media 
Studies, the Environmental Studies Program, the Environmental Defense 
Center and the Community Environmental Council.
