Abstract
This essay aimed at discussing one of the most serious crises experienced in the world today, the water crisis, and placing it at the center of the State from the discussion about citizenship and democracy, considering that access to water is a human right, and its absence may indicate fragility in contemporary democracies and, therefore, precariousness in the full exercise of citizenship. Thus, the central objective was to analyze the access to water, as a fundamental right, in the face of the concept of citizenship. The methodology was developed from access to secondary data and bibliographic research. Thus, it can be affirmed that the contemporary Democratic State of Law has not been able to universalize access to water, although legal instruments and public policies have been formulated and implemented, presenting a framework of injustice that imposes on the most vulnerable the lack of water supply, intermittent supply, poor water quality, and lack of basic sanitation.
