WATER RIGHTS THROUGH THE PRISM OF CANAAN

UN resolution 64/292 of July 28, 2010, in which the General Assembly recognized that the right to drinking water and sanitation is a fundamental right, essential to the full enjoyment of life. The human right to water is therefore fundamental to leading a healthy and dignified life, and the 148 countries that have ratified it are henceforth obliged to progressively achieve universal access to drinking water and sanitation, equitably and without discrimination.

In Canaan, the lack of infrastructure and basic services means that the area's residents operate in the informal sector. Water is 93% paid for, and depending on where you live in the district (Canaan 1,2,3,4,5), the cost per liter varies. This contrast is probably due to the difficulties of access and delivery.
