The Religion Of Water

  Water, second to air, is one of the things which humans require to survive. It is essential to get enough water everyday so as to keep ourselves hydrated. Without water, the human race would cease to exist, and all multi-cellular organisms would disappear from the face of the earth. As such we can tell that water important for survival, and the very existence of it keeps us alive. So therefore it is questionable whether water should be treated as a commodity, as it is now, or a human right. In my opinion, it should be a human right.
  Water is essential to our survival. Every person has the right to live, so why is it that only rich people have access to water. Water should be a human right. If water were to cost money, then poorer people who have little to no money to spend on water would die. If the suppliers refuse to give water to these poor people, and as a result they die, what difference does this make from murder? The suppliers are literally causing the deaths of these people. Although this would cause a small change in the economy, I feel it is worth it as lives are saved.
  Next, water should be a human right as there is plenty of water for everyone. The world is made up mostly of water, and as such there is plenty of water to supply us human beings for the next few milleniums. Although some of this water is undrinkable, all it takes is a little purification, and it will be drinkable then. The earth is currently facing the problem of rising sea levels, so why do humans still have to be so stringent and drag money into the matter of getting water. If more water was consumed, maybe the water levels would go down a  bit?
  However there are some plus sides from making water a commodity. One of which would be that people would value it more. Since water costs some of people's hard earned money, they would be more careful and value water more. They try to use as little water as possible so as to save up some money. Water although is plenty, is a valuable resource, and thus by making water a commodity, it allows people to value water more, and try to reduce their water consumption.
  With the above points, I therefore conclude that water should be a human right. Although by making it a commodity, the world is able to save up some precious water, however the plus sides outweigh the cons for making it a human right. If it were not a human right, lives would die for nothing.
