Constitutional Paradox on Water and Right to Water

Law

Mother Nature gave us life and various precious gifts. Air and water are few of the most precious gifts of the nature. Without them presumption of existence of any living creature is not possible. Flora and fauna can’t survive in absence of water and air. Thus, water and air are deeply associated with the human life, which mother earth provided in abundance, but human being explored and contaminated it for their own interest leaving the interest of humanity behind. In fact, for their survival every living creature on this earth requires suitable environment. We have been enacted a large number of laws for the protection of these resources. It is well known fact that water is a scant resource, so a regulatory framework is much needed to regularise its sharing and distribution. Unfortunately, statutory water laws are primarily focused around irrigation, though it also includes a number of pre- and post-independence enactments in various areas. In this way water laws are flooded with enactments, but we have no comprehensive law to ensure the right to water.
