Water use and rights
chapter
posted on 2012-03-20, 13:38 authored by Sue Cavill, M. Sohail (Khan)United Nations treaties guarantee the human right to
water. Although states must fulfill this human right and
businesses must respect the state’s obligation, approximately
900 million people around the world do not have
access to safe drinking water. Despite growing awareness
of the need for sustainable water use by companies,
increasing global population and inequitable access to
water will create controversy and lead to conflict.
