Waterjustice.org http://www.waterjustice.org/?mi=1 eng Waterjustice.org was born at the fourth World Social Forum (Mumbai, January 2004). Inspired by seminars on alternatives to water privatisation and how to finance public water, groups from around the world committed to intensify their co-operation on these key issues. One of the decisions was to develop waterjustice.org into a virtual resource centre and meeting place for exchanging experiences, debate and strategise. satoko@tni.org http://www.waterjustice.org/?mi=1&ress_id=283
