The Right To Water
Water scarcity is an increasing global problem. The world’s most precious resource is diminishing due to waste and the slow but persistent changes in the global climate caused by deforestation, soil degradation, increased pollution – which are damaging ecosystems and the health, lives and livelihoods of those without access to adequate, safe drinking water and basic sanitation. One of the results is that extensive droughts and floods, as well as other water-related disasters, have become more frequent and destructive.
