Who Cares What the UN ‘Declares’? | Granite State Future(s)

“The United Nations has declared that a human right exists for reliable access to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation which, along with other domestic purposes, accounts for about 7 to 10 per cent of all water use.”

The UN knows that water is currently controlled locally. This is why it is so important to get regional plans installed that will override local control in order to take water rights away from private individuals and put it in the hands of the state.

Therefore they recommend that “Priorities for national–local priority setting include pro-poor tariff structures; national food and nutrition strategies that take into account consequences for water and energy; bioenergy and food production; creating a culture of wastewater reuse and water recycling; strengthening land governance and integrating land use management for effective use of bioenergy by the poor; water and energy savings and reducing non-revenue water and electricity; sustainable management of groundwater; use of salt tolerant food crops, fodder crops and biofuels in coastal and saline affected areas; reducing vulnerability to natural disasters; and reducing pollutants of water and land bodies.”
