Religion, Law, and the Present Water Crisis documents current and
impending global water shortages and opposes policies of
commodification and privatization of water ownership by
multinational water corporations. On the basis of the religions of
the world, Richard A. Hughes appeals to pure, running water as a
symbol of the sacred. Furthermore, he argues that all bodies of
freshwater are commons and that they should be protected by the
public trust doctrine. In addition, he contends that there is a
right to water and that this right is independent, free-standing,
and the prerequisite of other human rights, applying to all states
and occupied territories. The increasing acidification of the
oceans makes it mandatory to protect them under the reserved water
right doctrine and to designate them as "national parks" of the
seas. More generally, this book presents a synthesis of water
studies and encompasses the religions of the world, theologies of
baptism, American water law doctrines, public trust doctrine with
special attention to Islamic water law, and international water law
treaties. Clean water is a necessity of life. Therefore, it is
compelling to recognize the urgency of water scarcity and the need
to guarantee the purity of and accessibility to water for all
people.
