The ability for a business to control water sources for profit is an important question. By controlling these water sources business are literally able to control life. Why should they control that? There are many areas of the world still that are underdeveloped and governments are not able to provide a stable source of water. Large businesses have grown in regions where water is in short supply and the government does not meet it's peoples needs. Businesses do not serve people, but rather profits. Allowing water sources to be controlled for profit at the expense of individuals is an unacceptable and dangerous system.
Businesses are designed to make money. It would not be possible for the business to stay profitable if they give water away for free to those in need of it. Having the power to prevent individuals from accessing water would be necessary for them to ensure that their investments were protected. Unless every single person was able to pay the business for their water, it would be more profitable for the business to let those who can not pay die. The more difficult they can make it to get water without paying their company, the more profitable it will be for that business.
Allowing for business to control water sources may seem to be an indication of economic growth, but it is not. By not having universal access to water these for-profit driven water supply systems makes it much more difficult for the economy to grow. It is difficult to invest in a new business if you are constantly draining your earnings by purchasing water. Allowing one business to profit off of a water supply hurts all other potential businesses that depend on that same supply.
The impact of businesses on the environment when supplying water is also an important factor. In Africa where sophisticated water supply systems are uncommon, 70% of people live in rural areas and are forced to live near rivers and streams. Any changes to these water supplies could have devastating effects on these people's lives and culture. It is not necessarily profitable for private businesses to be concerned with these issues, and people's lives may be severely effected if a businesses water mining activities changed their ecosystem in any way.
Water is life, and businesses should not be profiting off of allowing people to live their lives. A human can only survive without water for about three days. If one were to be in a business controlled water region without any money to spend, after three days it's possible they would be dead from lack of water. Businesses should not be profiting off of their ability to control natural resources vital to human life. They did not create the water sources and should not have the ability to restrict others from accessing them.
Businesses controlling water sources would cause people to die, the environment to suffer, and the economy to grow much slower. If private business is allowed to control water supply sources there would be numerous damaging side effects. Allowing water sources to be controlled for profit at the expense of individuals is an unacceptable and dangerous system.
