Public Affairs and Governance

Water privatisation has created huge debate since the very beginning of its origin. How public right could be used as a commodity is unexpected to several under-developed and developing countries. Moreover, there have been persistent examples of the unsustainability of such approaches. These issues eventually brought about the debate of privatisation of public goods. Several articles and cases had been followed to visualise the real scenarios of water privatisation and its consequences. Scholarly articles gave theoretical background of the debate. Finally, after a keen investigation and analysis, it is found that in the developing countries, where people cannot meet their basic needs, privatisation of drinking water is not sustainable and could bring about disruptive consequences to run existing political framework.
