Access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation is essential
for human survival and for maintenance of a decent quality of life.
Currently, more than a billion people do not have access to safe
drinking water and more than two billion people lack proper
sanitation. In 1992, the United Nations proclaimed that water
should be considered to be a human right. This position, however,
has not been accepted by many developed and developing countries.
This book systematically and comprehensively analyzes the legal
development of the concept of water as a human right; implications
for the national governments, and international and national
organizations for the implementation of this concept; progress made
in different Middle East and North African countries to provide
every individual access to clean water and sanitation, constraints
faced to assure universal access to water-related services and how
these constraints can be overcome, and an overall research agenda
in areas where more knowledge is necessary.
