Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Clean water is important for a healthy body. It is important for the assimilation of nutrients within the body as well as for releasing body waste. The temperature of the body and moisture in tissues is regulated through the water. Low levels of water in the body can lead to several illnesses and even death. Therefore, the right to water is the right to life itself. However, the right to water doesn't mean that people should be provided with any kind of water but that good quality or safe water be provided. Drinking contaminated water can lead to diseases. Hence the right to water is essential for life itself. The Indian Constitution recognises that the ‘right to water entitles everyone to sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable water for domestic and personal use”.
