Don't forget the Bush family and many others have been buying up aquifers and water rights for decades. Here's a good article that analyzes a few of the biggest purchases over the last few decades. Take this line for example:
"The lands purchased by the Bush family sit over not only South America’s largest aquifer — but the world’s as well — Acuifero Guaraní, which runs beneath Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. This aquifer is larger than Texas and California combined."

The motive is probably very simple; control the world's water supply so you can control the people of the world. I imagine Gates has similar goals.
