Investigating Water Crisis in Iran

Abstract [en]

Though some have the opportunity to access water conveniently, getting a small amount of water may be tough and exhausting for others.

In this paper, I will discuss on the right to water, which is explicitly expressed by a UN resolution as a human right. Sever water crisis, or drought, has been far beyond a lack of precipitation, but a phenomenon, occurring through a set of human activities, and interferences. My initial aim is to find out how and in what ways some human activities in Iran, interfered environment in a way that affected precipitation level and led to water crisis. And the second, is to show how unethical these activities may be, as they have been simply avoidable. Therefore, the Iranian governmental organizations (like municipalities) are ethically responsible to provide the required water, since the right to water is called a basic human right by UN. These facts obliges them to hinder these activities to secure this basic need.

On this way, I make use of Nussbaum's capability approach to show, depriving the citizens from one of their basic rights (the right to water), through influencing climatic order (in a way that decreases precipitation level or depletes water resources), is considered a moral issue, therefore, it is binding for the state to take measures responsively to stop and control it in the future.
