Different levels and types of services and the human rights to water and sanitation 2015, para. 15
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Availability refers to the quantity of safe water available for domestic and personal use, and the necessary protection of water resources. There must be a sufficient quantity of water available to fulfil individuals' and households' requirements for drinking and personal hygiene, for personal and domestic uses, which includes cooking, preparation of food, laundry and cleaning (see E/C.12/2002/11, para. 12). As individual household needs vary depending on circumstance and context, including age, occupation, ill-health and climatic conditions, an exact quantity necessary to fulfil the above requirements cannot be given. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides broad guidance on the relevant amounts of water to promote good hygiene and protect public health, but each State must assess the relevant amount for given circumstances. Beyond this, availability also relates to the necessary structures to ensure service provision.
