The Glen Canyon dam is a cultural atrocity that destroyed important archeological sites, pristine ecological habitat, unique canyons, and is so far away from any major cities that is provides little, actually useful water. It is a basin used to evaporate the colorado river for the mere folly of man. The colorado river scarcely even reaches the gulf of California, and even when it does it comes much less like a river but rather like a trickle of polluted pee. I think this kind water misuse needs to be discussed and contrasted to what colonizers are doing with the water, especially in settler countries like the US.

privatizing water is just going to lead to more food desert situations, which is directly a man made problem to make things horrible for people. It is one of the many problems that cannot be solved with profit motive, well ethically at least, it'll just lead to water barons and exploitation.

Why is the first reaction to resource scarcity from mismanagement or overuse always -Just give it to private investors- like that hasn't always caused more issues? We treat and sell our Earth like a harlot and someday we will have to pay it all back if we don't change our ways.

Because when you live in a desert you become acutely aware of where your water comes from. When this happens it's easy to blame the lack of water on other people. When I lived in arizona I took particular issue with people who had real grass lawns.

I'm so used to an abundance of water where I am that sometimes it's hard to think of it as a high conflict resource. I know it, like, intellectually, but sometimes I need the affectation to be revamped. Anyway, I love this crash course series --

Let's privatize water, cuz that worked out so well with Electricity in California. Well we are at it, lets also siphon water from Farms so that cities can have pretty lawns, cuz humans don't need to eat.

Privatizing water is a horrible idea!
Not everything should be for sale! It's bad enough we have to pay for water but selling control to the highest bidder is one of the scariest things I can think of.

Imagine having to ask if water is a human right (I realize that CrashCourse is posing this as a rhetorical question. The commoditization of water will undoubtedly lead to future wars.

Why wouldn't we consider water a basic human right when the human body needs it for survival of life. Why is this still a question in 2021? Oh right LOL humans, money & politics
