Introducing the basic right to water

(...)

Walloon region. Since 2003, the right to equitable access to water for everyone has been a point of Walloon law, with a tax of 0,0125 euros/m³ going into a Social Fund set up to help pay for water for those in francophone areas who cannot afford it.[14] There was no assistance provided for communities speaking German. In 2008, the International Environmental Law Research Center reported that Walloon was also "in the process of introducing a new water tax to finance water projects in selected developing countries".[14]

Belgian constitution. A revision of the Constitution of Belgium has been proposed in 2006 to recognize "the right to an adequate water supply, sufficient in quality and quantity" as one of these constitutional entitlements.[14]
