title = "Le droit de l{\textquoteright}eau potable au Qu{\'e}bec",
abstract = "The right to water has come to the fore and is gaining recognition both nationally and internationally. The implementation of a legal right to water is difficult, however, owing to its uncertain scope and lack of precision in international law as well as among States that recognise it. Beyond official recognition of such a right, many governments have put in place a legal framework to insure that drinking water is safe and accessible. An analysis of the laws and regulations applicable in Qu{\'e}bec reveals their technical nature, as well as their environmental and finacial dimensions. The authors first present an overview of the legislative history of drinking water in Qu{\'e}bec, stressing the key legal concepts defining drinking water and its uses. They then describe the legal regimes that currently provide a framework for drinking water, namely the rules applying to the procuring of water, its distribution equipment and water purification. Lastly, they review provisions dealing with the financing of aqueduct infrastructures, drinking water pricing as well as issues regarding access to drinking water in sufficient quantities.",
