The question of water aspect of becoming a matter of modern society world poses serious questions about the key strategies of sustainable development in an intra-and inter-generational perspective. In March 2009 and held at the Istanbul the 5th Water World Forum and presented data from a UN report showed that 8 million people die from water scarcity; it is estimated that 1.1 billion people lack access to water resources, 2.6 billion people have health and hygiene problems, 3900 children are victims every day for water shortage. The pressure of population cause unstoppable pollution of groundwater and watercourses. In 2030 there is the risk that the half world population remains without adequate levels of water resources. J. Maynard Keynes in an article in 1932 "Exhortations and Prophecies" poses to public attention the fact that global development has been marked by excessive limits of scarcity of one of the production factors. Until the end of the 19th century limiting factor has always been represented by the capital. In 20th century the factor that has begun to limit of development so more and more decisive natural and environmental resources. Between natural resources that affected the evolution is just the water. The paper try to analyzes and answer a several critical question. The main arguments analyzed in the paper are: the shortage, the pressure on consumption due to increasing world population, the unbalanced use across sectors and between the intra and civil society, the use of water as an instrument of geopolitical pressure, the right of access and the legal character of the water good.
