Water is a human right. Indispensable, irreplaceable… Water is life. That’s why this week’s Cantos do Sabi\u00e1<\/strong> is going to talk about March 22nd, the World Water Day! But you can’t discuss water properly<\/strong> just by telling people to turn off the tap when brushing their teeth. Or when you take a bath, turn off the shower.<\/p>\n\n

…The truth is that water expenditure is far beyond the population itself. <\/strong> Agribusiness,<\/strong> for example, is the economy that spends the most water worldwide! 70% of the expenses of the world resource is in the poison market.<\/strong> In Brazil, the Agribusiness<\/em> sector alone spends 72% <\/strong>of its water consumption.<\/p>\n\n

Today, according to the Trata Brasil Institute<\/strong> ‘s survey ,<\/strong> our country has 30 million people without access to treated water<\/strong>. It is more than clear that access to water is still a difficult and current discussion. <\/strong>How to break these barriers? How to guarantee an essential human right such as access to water! Water is not a commodity. Nor can it be treated as if it were!<\/p>\n\n
