This article was carried out using a qualitative methodology, consulting primary and secondary sources. The objective was to contribute to the socio-legal analysis of the human right to clean water and sanitation from rights based approach, examining human rights principles such as equality, non-discrimination and participation as criteria that guide public policy decisions to contribute to the effective enjoyment of human rights. It is concluded that there must be a base of regulatory criteria for water and its sanitation that focus on addressing water as a social and cultural good and as a right to combat urban inequalities.
