To further ensure availability and access to water as inviolable human rights, the bill establishing a regional fund for water rights and an international solidarity. The first, managed by the Region of Puglia with its affiliates within the optimal, is to ensure the essential level of access to water to meet the basic needs of life for every citizen who will be guaranteed free of charge and at the expense of general taxation, while the second tends to ignore the economic and social imbalances and help ensure the right to drinking water those people who have no access to water services.

"The water service operated by a public body - said the commissioner Fabiano Amati - is the best guarantee to state the facts rather than words that water is a common good of humanity. If this is true in general, it is also necessary in Puglia, a region not known to have water and this raises the captures and the neighboring region through the most complex engineering work in the world and Europe's largest.
The aqueduct was built to empower the Apulian Apulian thirst and injustice - concluded Amati - and even today we need to affirm the advertising of water service for not more were thrown into new forms of injustice, which would be realized through private management of the service, and so spreading the good done for the last five years from AQP.
