How social and territorial inequalities in access to water became a major European issue.

In some parts of Europe, water has become inaccessible or uncertain for a growing share of the population. Drawing on everyday experiences (access to public baths, living in substandard housing, etc.) alongside historical and legal perspectives, this book reveals the practical and material obstacles that hinder access to hygiene and explores their consequences for health, social relationships, finances, housing, and administrative status.
