Mekk knows.
'water as a right' means that water gets abused by big business and agrocorps. if something doesn't have value - who gets to use it most? Carbon emission was 'a right' until recently - is that a good idea, or a bad one, you think?
If governments are left to control water but have no profit incentive, inefficiencies and waste and preference kicks in, hence why a lot of water charities support utility privatisation in second and third world economies - it means that people, poor people, get access to clean water and sanitation services.
