Can't access what, tap water?

>he didn't believe access to clean water should be a human right
Depends on the definition of "human right". You still pay for even the tap water in your home after all.
- SamReidHughes 7y agoOne might argue that being allowed to dig a well on your land for drinking water is a human right. Clean water was once the natural order of things.
- Moru 7y agoBut if the neighbour is called Nestlé and has a deeper well, your well will go dry. This model shows the problem nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF4iCgxsZX4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF4iCgxsZX4
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoBasically in countries where water supplies are limited Nestle come in and buy the water, meaning wells go dry but Nestle still have enough to sell. Those in water poverty can't outbid Nestle, nor pay the right people bungs. Snopes does cover the situation quite well (see link upthread).
