Beskrivning: There is no gainsaying that water (and air) are the most essential elements for human existence. The availability and access to water for all our purposes is a human right. Yet, the management of water supply and accessing it has drawn much debate culminating in the HR council's Resolution 15/9. Why is the availbility of water a problem? To what extent are our management solutions part of the problem? How can we theorise and problematise the right to accessible drinking water?
