Given the growing destabilizing factors (climate change, demographic growth, financial instability, desertification), the water supply for future development of our planet will become even more an issue. In order to guarantee access to water for different countries, regions, and individuals, it is necessary to elaborate and adopt for governance in general a body of legal, financial, institutional, and economic tools and mechanisms that would become an indisputable set of rules as a kind of Bible for modern humankind and as a way to survive. Water governance should prevent any attempt to use water as a means of political or economic pressure or as a good like oil transformed into the subject of profiteering. Water is a holy thing and we all must take care of and save it so that everyone might have access to water in adequate quantity and quality.
