Glad you asked. It's actually quite easily defined when it comes to what amount of water a human is entitled to: https://www.unwater.org/water-facts/human-rights/ https://www.unwater.org/water-facts/human-rights/ The provider is still a debate, between letting private entities do it (which, as anyone that has seen private entities deal with such important things, know is a terrible idea), or the state. As to who is violating their rights, it depends. Are you in a fully remote place where it is almost physically impossible to get you water ? Undefined. Otherwise, the provider is expected to perform what is expected of them and bring you water, by any means necessary.

Sorry, but that link does not explain it. How does one resolve the conflict between a farmer that requires water to grow their food and a village where people want to do their laundry more often? > which, as anyone that has seen private entities deal with such important things, know is a terrible idea Reminder that in Flint, Walmart still provides safer water than the State.

Just let multiple providers compete on price and service as normal to determine how much effort is reasonable. (That idea of competition doesn't preclude having municipal water works. As long as you don't ban private suppliers.)
