A Somewhat Recent Victory for Indigenous Water Rights in the Kalahari Desert

Last January, a Botswana appeals court recognized the right of indigenous Basarwa bushmen to use a well on their traditional land, as reported by the BBC here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12300285

It's not the most recent water rights ruling, but an important victory for an indigenous group's rights to its traditional practices, land, and resources.
