Abstract

The right to water (rtw) is a major concern in current discussions about global challenges. Several NGOs, as well as international organisations, are involved in this political issue. On a scholarly level the discourse is accompanied primarily by jurisprudence reasoning the dogmatic question of social rights. Although already well established in the context of international declarations, the discussion on rtw is, in general, still awaiting a (national) implementation perspective. Hence, the question arises as to what exactly the concrete, litigable content of a rtw might be and how inevitable limits to this right might be set and justified.
