The world's water resources are finite and unevenly distributed, leading to a growing water scarcity problem. The wealthy and powerful have been able to secure access to clean, safe water through privatization, buying up water rights, and investing in infrastructure, while the poor and marginalized often lack access to adequate water supplies. This hoarding of water resources by the rich exacerbates inequality and leads to water insecurity for billions of people, further widening the gap between the haves and have-nots.
