Here are two articles about the current situation in Detroit, in which the municipality is turning off the water of hundreds of thousands of people who are in arrears in their payments.  One article is from the US-based online journal, Slate; the other from UK-based The Guardian.  After you read these two articles, see if you can find other news stories or resources on the Right to Water as part of Human Rights (the Slate article specifically mentions how protesters are making an appeal to the United Nations).
