Water is a common good, never a good

In Water: life or merchandise? , Leonardo Boff raises the following insight:

"Two problems have created the current" global water stress "systematic contamination associated with the destruction of the biomass that ensures the perpetuity of running water and lack of care in the use of the drop is available. Aldo Rebouças teaches us is more important to know how to use a drop of water available to flaunt their wealth. As a scarce commodity, it shows a mad dash for the possession of the water. Whoever controls the water controls life. Who controls life, has the power.
"the dilemma then arises: Is the water source of life or financial gain? Is it a very natural, vital and irreplaceable or is an economic asset and a commodity? Those who seek only profit, treat as a commodity. The who believe in life, see it as an essential good for all living organisms and the ecological balance of the Earth. Have the right to life means having the right to free drinking water. But having cost of collecting, processing, distribution, use, reuse and conservation there is an undeniable economic dimension, which should not override the right, rather, should make it real and guaranteed for all.
Fresh water is a resource. It is life with all its symbolic resonance fertility, rebirth and purification. This has great value but are priceless. If care is abundant for all. "
