In many parts of the world where the people are extremely in need of water either because of pollution or the lack of it, it is important that everyone gets enough for survival. If it is the case of commodity in these places of crisis, only the rich will triumph for they are the only ones who can afford it while the rest will perish. This can be seen from third world countries like Africa whereby only the selfish and rich people can afford and abuse it while the people get dehydrated and die in vain due to the lack of supply. It is clearly unfair for this is our world and it is everyone’s right to have access to this valuable resource instead of only the powerful being able to obtain this. The wealthy people are not in any way more deserving of Earth's water than the poor people.
Hence it is clearly important for water to be treated as a human right to ensure the continuity of mankind. With water treated as a human right, everyone will be able to obtain water fairly and only with this can everyone be treated fairly as it should be as all humans are equal.
Some self centred people may argue that it is unfair for their ability to obtain a vast amount of water to be taken away from them as they deserve it for they can afford it. However, the simple fact is that this model of privatization doesnt work. You cannot marry the profit motive to something like water or air which people need to survive. We have to take this notion of fresh water out of the market place and say that it belongs to the earth, it belongs to all species, it belongs to future generations, and no one has the right to commodify it for personal gain
In conclusion, this world belongs to humanity. Hence everyone should have the rights to have access to this valuable resource and we should all share it equally for this doesn’t only belongs to us, but to every single soul living in this world.
