Professor at Zaragoza University, Spain: "Deberíamos introducir el derecho humano al agua potable y al saneamiento básico en nuestras constituciones y leyes fundamentales, como han hecho ya varios países latinoamericanos. La UE debería hacer lo propio, reformando la Directiva Marco de Aguas; y no sólo por lo que significaría de cara a los propios países de la Unión, sino también por el eco que tendría a nivel mundial y las implicaciones que deberían derivarse en lo referente a nuestra responsabilidades globales."

Journalist and Professor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium): "L'eau tombe du ciel, et c'est heureux car sans elle la vie n'existerait pas. On peut y voir un cadeau de Dieu, si on y croit, ou un don de la nature. Mais certainement pas un bien privé ni une arme stratégique. L'eau, comme l'air, n'appartient à personne et est indispensable à tous. Nul ne peut se l'approprier pour quelque but que ce soit."

Chairman OSDLV (Czech Republic): "I want all people to have fair access to water at reasonable prices. I do not want any exorbitant sums to be paid for water after the privatization - as in the Czech Republic - where since the privatization prices has risen enormously due to the greed of multinational companies. All people should have the access to water and to meet their personal needs no matter what their income situation is." "Chci, aby všichni lidé m?li spravedlivý p?ístup k vod? za rozumné ceny. Nechci, aby se za vodu po privatizaci platili nehorázné sumy, jako tomu je v ?eské republice, kdy po privatizaci se neúm?rn? zvedli ceny ohledn? zisk? nadnárodních spole?ností. Všichni lidé by m?li mít šanci si koupit vodu a splnit si své osobní pot?eby bez ohledu na to, jaká je jejich situace.

Mayor of Ljubljana : »Ljubljana je mesto, ki se lahko pohvali s čisto pitno vodo, in na to smo zelo ponosni. Na mestne ulice smo celo postavili javne pitnike ter tako našim meščanom in obiskovalcem v toplejših mesecih omogočili brezplačno odžejanje. Ker se zavedamo, da je kakovostna voda javno dobro in človekova pravica, ne sme preiti v upravljanje zasebnikom. Zato bomo v Ljubljani zagotovili, da voda ostane dostopna vsem.« "Ljubljana is a city that boasts of having clean drinking water, and this is something we can be proud of. We have even set up drinking fountains on the city streets and thereby enabled our residents and visitors to have a drink free of charge in the warmer months. As we are aware that good-quality drinking water is a public good and a human right we cannot allow it to be privatised. Therefore we in Ljubljana will ensure that water remains accessible to all".
