Water is a major component needed for life on Earth, but it is a resource that is commonly affected by access and contamination issues. Environmental justice in practice would guarantee that all people have access to clean water for the benefit of the community. Water access is important for drinking water, waste removal, cultural practices, and reliance on water-based ecosystems.
