> In several West African countries, an estimated 70 percent of
> people live without safe water for everyday use in rural communities.
> Not only does this lack of safe water negatively impact the health
> and welfare of Africans in Muslim countries but it prevents girls
> from attending school. The scarcity of adequate water resources could
> become a major moral and political issue worldwide in the 21st
> century. Gil Garcetti documents this crisis in his new photo book,
> Water is Key, being released in September. The book addresses safe
> water, health, and the empowerment of women in West Africa. Garcetti,
> who served as the L.A. County District Attorney from 1992-2000, is
> President of the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission and was named as
> one of the country’s four master photographers in 2003 by American
> Photo magazine. He has published three other books of photography. An
> exhibit of Water is Key opens at the Fowler Museum at UCLA on Sept. 9
> and runs through Nov. 25. His book will be made available for sale
> and signing by Book Events & Authors Unlimited.
