This section highlights cases from around the world in which the right to water has been legally enforced at the national and local levels.

The examples include cases from countries in which the right to water is enshrined in national or local legislation and also those in which the lack of an explicit right to water in national law necessitates the use of other legal methods of enforcing the right.

We welcome further examples for possible inclusion in this website. Please contact Rights and Humanity. Contact details can be found by clicking here.
