 Harvest\n\n “Clean water is the bottom line of all bottom lines—and 
 Maude Barlow shows, with compelling reporting, that we're about to go 
 H2O-broke. But she's also a leader of an emerging movement for water 
 justice, one that is starting to score victories in the desperate fight to 
 keep a thirsty planet slaked.” –Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy 
 and The End of Nature \nMaude Barlow is the national chairperson of The 
 Council of Canadians, Canada's largest citizens' advocacy organization with
