Water belongs to the earth and all its species. Water should be left where it is wherever possible. Water must be conserved for all time. Polluted water must be reclaimed. Water is best protected in natural watersheds.
Water is a public trust to be guarded at all levels of government.
An adequate supply of clean water is a basic human right. The best advocates for water are local communities and citizens. The public must participate as an equal partner with government to protect water. Economic globalization policies are not water sustainable.
