Right to Water

South African court mandates right to water

A Johannesburg court ruling that orders the city to provide 50 liters of free water per person every day to residents may set new international standards for people's right to water. The volume ordered by the court equals the bare minimum of people's daily water needs, according to World Health Organization guidelines. http://www.irinnews.org/Report.aspx?ReportId=78076
