  Anti-monopoly laws are not enough (even if we ignore the problems of regulatory capture). If all the water was owned by three people instead of one person, or even by five people, or a thousand, there'd still be the other seven billion of us which would die of thirst if these thousand commanded. But, yes, giving up some of what they own is one way of dealing with it... though one could argue that by the time they have control of all that water or wealth, it's too late, because by then they have so much power that they, not you, get to call the shots. Another way is to change the system so that they don't gain so much control in the first place, and so that water (or wealth) is distributed more equitably among all seven billion of us instead of just a tiny few.
