An Outline on the Right to Water in the EU System

Summary/Abstract: Water is a fundamental resource for the birth, development of human civilization. The right to water is one of those rights that transcends and embraces the whole history of man and society. However, in our contemporary society the right to water seems something new, almost a post-modern innovation. Research at European level has taken up the challenge and the scientific water community is committed to rapidly developing and transferring management solutions that make our cities more liveable and the negative pressures on the availability of good quality water for uses increasingly irrelevant potable and civil. In this context it is important to develop a regulatory and legislative approach that does not settle for damage-repair dynamics but an approach aimed at prevention and planning directed towards two contexts: procurement and recycling-reuse.
