Principles

Water is a threatened vital resource. In accordance with the Imperative of Responsibility:

• "Humanity must collectively protect water for the durability of ecosystems and for the benefit of future generations".

Water is vital and not substitutable, like the air we breathe.

• "Access to healthy water must be secured as a universal inalienable Human Right."

Provided by Nature and essential for Life, a personal asset of the Living and non merchandisable,

• "Water must not be subjected to competition and the laws of the Market".

Objectives

Public powers in charge of collective goods must

• "guarantee for anyone the right to have the vital minimum availabe, quality water", in sufficient amount for food, health and basic needs.

• "Participation of all citizens in the water policy must be promoted" so as to guarantee the durability, the availability and the quality of water.

• "Cooperation between the World s regions must be organized" for a optimum apportionment, considering availabilities and needs, so as to avoid any competitions for the resource or restrictions on access.

Water has a cost: extraction, storage, potability, distribution, collection of sewage and rainwater, purification.

• "The cost of regeneration of water, and this one only, must be assumed by the community."

Water must be managed as a public good, by local community service with:

• "A solidarity and fair price structure, prompting sustainable behaviors"
• "A local democratic control guaranteeing users the relevant information".
