ABSTRACT

This chapter is descriptive as well as normative in nature, which explores the meaning, elements, and scope of Right to Water. The chapter for this purpose discusses philosophical arguments and institutional undertakings as the interpreter of the concept of the Right to Water. This chapter emphasises that the notion of Right to Water is evolved with argumentative discussions, known as post-neoliberalism and institutional undertakings, made at the international, regional and national levels. To present the meaning(s) of Right to Water, the chapter ascertains the relationship between the argumentative discourses and institutional undertakings and explains that the idea of Right to Water is a perfect pairing of rights and duties which together create a condition where individuals are entitled to use water (with freedom and equality).
