The right to water

26.01.2016

The right to water and sanitation is still an unrealised dream for far too many people, and the lack of access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene causes a huge burden of unnecessary diseases and deaths worldwide. But this is not simply about life; it is about dignity, equity, jobs, economy and environment - in a word - development. Water operators, turn the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation into reality for the public authorities that engage them. They are tools that governments use to deliver this human right. To do so they need strong political backing and a stable legal framework.
