Authors

Abstract

The note examines the risks associated with privatizing water systems, focusing on cases in Flint, Michigan, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. It argues that privatization can undermine public rights, exacerbate inequalities, and lead to environmental injustice. The analysis highlights the failure of regulatory oversight and advocates for stronger legal frameworks to protect vulnerable communities.
