RE: [ENG-ESP] The water between my fingers. A look at the planet's water // El agua entre mis dedos. Una mirada al agua del planeta

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Water is life! It's the universal elixir and it's said that a human being's physical body is made of 70% water. So, why is it becoming scarce, and why have people turned it into a business? Should this life-giving liquid be free for all? There should be more answers than questions. Thank you @xandra79 for this eye-opening post!

Hello @storiesoferne. We are water and the planet is water and yet the water we need is scarce and in the post I try to explain why by way of reflection. Water is a right of every citizen and the state should guarantee it, I am not going to say that it should be free because there are many associated costs but it should be affordable to all. I understand that Chile is the only country that dared to completely privatize this service, I am not going to create a debate about it and I do not live there, but I do wonder, do the poorest and most vulnerable have access to water? On the other hand, I see the reality of other countries, including my own, where the State is in charge of the water sector, but it does not guarantee this right to all. This is a critical and fundamental issue for everyone.

You have a great point there @xandra79. If water could not be made free for all, it should at least, become affordable to everyone. We hope this global water crisis gets resolved soon, most especially for the world's poorest nations.

Hopefully, but the road still looks very rough. Let's hope that sooner rather than later the authorities will do more to secure the right to water. Thank you @storiesoferne for your valuable comments that lead to a necessary reflection.

I really appreciate your comments because you always ask interesting questions. You know here in Venezuela the time is 10:00 am. If you are in the Philippines the time is 22:00, that means that while people there are getting ready to sleep here we are in full swing, hahaha. So, Good evening!

Yes, that would be a 12-hour difference. Our community is a global platform so, it's really fun engaging with different nationalities. Having said that, enjoy your lunch and have a great afternoon there @xandra79! I'm a curious person so, I ask lots of questions hahaha. 😀
