Slovenia adds water to constitution as fundamental right for all

Parliament adopts amendment that declares country's abundant clean supplies are 'a public good managed by the state' and 'not a market commodity'

Slovenia has amended its constitution to make access to drinkable water a fundamental right for all citizens and stop it being commercialised.

With 64 votes in favour and none against, the 90-seat parliament added an article to the EU country's constitution saying "everyone has the right to drinkable water".
