The concept tries to address the consequences rather than the causes. However, this approach has not addressed the root causes of the injustice. 15 in 2002, and its further strengthening by the resolutions of the Human Rights Council and the United Nations General Assembly in 2010, highlighted the issue of injustice in allocation. Indeed, the emergence of the concept of the human right to water through General Comment No. Subsequently, the concept of the ‘human right to water’ started emerging, and some experts even argued that it is part and parcel of water governance.

However, that approach did not answer the questions with regard to water allocation to the poor and to vulnerable groups. Participation of users in management and water governance has been widely flagged and discussed as the ultimate solution for the challenges facing water resources. Similar is the fixed-rate structure for urban water users, regardless of how much they consume. The irrigation sector, which consumes about three-quarters of the world’s water, wastes far more than it actually uses for food production because of the absence of incentives for rational utilization and conservation. With the beginning of this century, attention shifted to management as another main cause of the problems, and examples of poor management practices worldwide were cited. Spatial and temporal variations – too much water in the wrong place at the wrong time – are other major causes to which the global water resources problems have been attributed. Other causes to blame include urbanization, environmental degradation and climate change. Thus, there is not enough water on the planet, particularly with the escalation in popula- tion growth (from 1.6 billion to 6.1 billion during the last century alone). We have been constantly reminded that of the 1400 million cubic kilometres of global water resources, only 2.5% is freshwater and of that amount, 99% is permanent ice or in deep aquifers. Water, every expert kept repeating, is a scarce and finite resource, with no alternative, and upon which there is a total dependence for survival. When the world woke up in the mid-nineties of the last century to the growing challenges facing its water resources, the immediate and almost unanimously agreed-upon ‘felon’ was scarcity.
