“Earth! Water planet!” composer Guilherme Arantes already sang, this is because the planet earth is composed of 70% of water, this isolated information leads us to nurture an illusion that we have water in abundance, however less than 1% of fresh water is available for human consumption. Water security is increasingly threatened, aggravated by pollution, lack of sanitation, water is one of the natural resources that most reflects the impact of climate change.<\/p>\n\n

The month of March, the 22nd, was celebrated the world water day, this date was created by the United Nations (UN), at the Rio-92 Conference to remind the population, annually, that this resource is finite and is increasingly scarcer. During the event, the \u201cUniversal Declaration of Water Rights\u201d was released by the UN, from which we extract Art. 2, which makes a characterization of this precious asset.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cArt. 2nd \u2013 Water is the lifeblood of our planet. It is the essential condition of life for every plant, animal or human being. Without it, we could not conceive what the atmosphere, climate, vegetation, culture or agriculture are like. The right to water is one of the fundamental rights of human beings: the right to life, as stipulated in Art. 3 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
