ABSTRACT

Water is a resource that triggers profound conflicts and close collaboration, a source of deep injustices and fierce struggles for life. Water crisis are thus never only just about water but much more. In what follows, we analyse why it is important to advance knowledge and civic action in water justice as well as how to involve the general public in creating more equitable and inclusive water worlds. Now is the time for active engagement by the average citizen , which is what this piece focuses on. Water is connected to broader issues of democrascy, citizenship and development. We are thus seeing crisis, injustice and sufferings of different kinds around the world, in wealthy countries as well as in developing countries. This is why water justice becomes an important analytical and political issue and needs broader public understanding and support.

Key words: Water, justice, la, government
