#7: A human right to water - Poor people need money and choices more than rights
In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana tackle the complex relationship between water as a human right and the need for good governance, inspired by David Zetland's Living with Water Scarcity. The discussion emphasizes that ensuring access to water for the poor requires more than declaring rights—it demands transparent and competitive management, stronger property rights, and innovative financial mechanisms. Zetland explores how corruption undermines water access and offers practical solutions like registering water rights and incorporating market mechanisms to improve efficiency and equity. Jordan and Lana highlight how accountable governance, grounded in economic realities, can address water scarcity and inequality.
