近年来，围绕“水权”这一概念引发了激烈的争论。在本文中，我们试图通过对水权的深入探讨来回应最近的批评并澄清辩论的术语。我们探讨了对该概念的一些批评，将其置于当前供水新自由化的背景下并与当代水挑战相关，并举例说明如何利用该概念来促进不同背景下弱势群体获得水的事业。我们的结论是，水权并没有像批评者所建议的那样放弃这一概念，而是在当代作为一种话语和战略保持着重要地位。
In recent years, significant debate has taken place around the concept of the "human right to water". In this paper, we seek to respond to recent critiques and clarify the terms of the debate by presenting an in-depth exploration of the human right to water. We explore several critiques of the concept, situate it in the context of the current neoliberalization of water provision and in relation to contemporary water challenges, and present some examples of how it has been deployed to further the cause of access to water for vulnerable populations in varied contexts. We conclude that, rather than abandoning the concept as critics have suggested, the human right to water maintains importance as a discourse and strategy in the contemporary moment.
