This fact is intolerable. Now, the risk is great that in the year 2020 when the world population reaches around S billion human beings, the number of people without access to drinking water will increase to more than 3 billion. This is unacceptable. We can and must prevent the unacceptable becoming possible. None of them, individually or as a group, can be allowed the right to make it private property.
Water is the patrimony of mankind.
Individual and collective health depends upon it. Agriculture, industry and domestic life are intimately linked to it. There is no production of wealth without access to water. Water is not like any other resource it is not an exchangeable, marketable commodity. Water belongs more to the economy of common goods and wealth sharing than to the economy of private and individual accumulation and other s wealth expropriation.
