Answer:
This topic triggers heated debates, especially since water resources are limited. But finding the best way to manage them means working for the good of humanity and the planet.
All too often we do not notice, but water is not an unlimited resource - especially water that is potable and can be used by humans. In fact, only 0.001 percent of the huge amount of water on Earth is good quality, and accessible at not too high a cost. According to the report “The World's Water” updated every two years by the Pacific Institute, just under 65 percent of drinking water is located in just 13 countries - Brazil (14.9%), Russia (8.2%), Canada (6%), USA (5.6%), Indonesia (5.2%), China (5.1%), Colombia (3.9%), India (3.5%), Peru (3.5%), Congo (2.3%), Venezuela (2.2%), Bangladesh (2.2%), Burma (1.9%). With this in mind, it becomes evident that we need to handle this resource with great care and fairness. To emphasize the importance of water, the United Nations (UN), with its resolution of 29 July 2010, acknowledged for the first time the "right to water": everyone, without discrimination, has the right to have access - physically and economically – to a sufficient amount of water that is safe to drink.
Worldwide, private ownership of water utilities has been growing for a number of years. According to a 2004 editorial by Gary H. Wolff in the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management the number of people served by private water companies worldwide grew from 51 million in 1990 to nearly 300 million in 2002.
