Is it acceptable to treat water as a private commodity?

Depending on what we are and where we live, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense. It’s important for any country to try to find the optimal policy, but in my view, allowing private ownership of water is not a good idea. Now let me explain the details.     

First, “access to clean drinking water” is a basic human right. That is why the UN Sustainable Development Goals have it listed as one of their key challenges. But, privatizing water could limit low-income people’s access to clean water, which is unacceptable in our world today.     

Next, I understand some may argue that privatizing public services would enhance efficiency, but few studies exist to support this argument for now. On the contrary, companies that own water systems frequently form monopoly to make huge profits, which can lead to higher prices.           

In conclusion, we must see “ensuring access to water” as an important principle that supports “a right to live” in present day. To maintain this, we should not undermine this by looking for any loophole policy. Thank you for your attention. [182 Words Type-F2]
