Abstract: This study proposes an analysis of water in general and drinking water in particular, considering that it is indispensable for living on our beautiful blue planet. Water wastage, floods, global warming, wars, waste of all kinds, and pollution, are just some of the causes that can endanger natural water resources, with a direct effect on the present but also on future generations. From this perspective, in relation to climate change, the subject is topical and of interest to both specialists and private individuals, because water is consumed by everyone and it is in the public interest to protect it. The scope of the study is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of water from an interdisciplinary perspective, taking administrative law as a starting point. In terms of methodology, the paperwork is divided into three parts: part I will analyze the national legal framework on water, part II will present relevant international documents describing drinking water standards, and part III will identify several current issues related to public water supply service arising from day-to-day work of public administration. The paperwork will conclude that citizens and public authorities on all continents must behave responsibly on a daily basis in order not to waste water, which is both a legal and a moral obligation.
