Talk:Right to water
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Right to water and water scarcity
I suggest to remove the comment related to water scarcity from this article. As shown in the 2006 UN Development Report on Water, water scarcity is not a key factor depriving people of the human right of water. Municipal water use accounts for less than 10% of total global water use and essential drinking water needs only acccount for a fraction of that amount. In almost all circumstances the real reasons preventing a fulfillment of the human right to water are a lack of financial resources and policies that would allow to store, transport and treat available water resources, in order for the right to sufficient, accesible, safe and affordable water can become a reality.--Mschiffler 03:25, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
