"It cannot be said often enough that water is a scarce resource which we must protect, but to which we must also ensure access for all. That is why water should constitute a fundamental and universal right. Water pricing should also be as transparent as possible so that no unfair profit be made on this shared resource of humankind. The adoption of a lifestyle which uses less water should be a priority for European citizens in order to protect this finite resource. However, the water networks supplying European cities must also be renewed and monitored so that losses of unused water, which currently accounts for 20% of the total volume, be reduced as much as possible. Finally, tackling water pollution in the natural environment and the recycling of wastewater are a necessity at a time when access to drinking water is far from a reality in all regions of the world."@en1
