UUSC seeks to promote and defend the human right to water. To achieve this goal, UUSC supports civil society and grassroots groups in the struggle against water privatization and depletion and promotes citizen involvement in the utilization and management of water as a common resource. UUSC works to influence government policies related to environmental justice and mobilize activists to hold government agencies and socioeconomic elites accountable for water-rights violations.
