The Right to Water

The Right to Water means that every person is entitled to have regular, safe, and affordable access to clean water for essential needs like drinking, cooking, and sanitation. It recognizes water as a fundamental human right, essential for health, dignity, and well-being. This right emphasizes that governments and authorities have a responsibility to ensure water services are available to all, especially vulnerable populations, without discrimination or financial hardship. Securing this right helps promote health, equality, and sustainable development within communities.
