Abstract

Factors such as population growth rate, industrialization, increase in urbanization rate, unplanned urbanization, consumption of pesticides, climate change, which are experienced during the history of mankind, cause environmental pollution affecting future generations especially water resources. This situation, which constitutes a global public problem in today's world, has particularly reached threatening levels for usable/potable water resources. Under the prediction that the world will face 40% water scarcity by 2030, it is important that the rainwater will be stored and made usable. The article includes the applied fiscal policies around the world (e.g. public standards/practices, public incentive policies, output/result-oriented policies). The article presents the current situation in Turkey and suggests the legal regulation.

Summary

Introduction

The world faced to both the main change such as mobility, the increasing capital flow, the improvement in the information & communication technologies and the main problems that have got impact globally such as the pollution of environment, financial crisis, security, war. As Kaul et al determined that a globalizing world need a theory of global public goods to achieve crucial goals such as the reduction of environmental pollution, the biological diversity conversation, climate change mitigation, financial stability, human security, alleviating poverty, peace. The management and protection of the world’s water resources must be based on the principles of justice, solidarity, reciprocity, equity, austerity, diversity and sustainability, because water is a human right (Withanage, 2017) At this point the environment (and the global environment protection policies against its hazards that are global warming, climate change, water scarcity, drought) would represent a global public good. Some of the UN agencies - such as United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (UNCSD), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)- and the other entities (World Meteorological Organization - WMO, International Water Association - IWA, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - IPCC, International Organization for Migration - IOM) are the fundamental programmes that to mitigation the global environmental problems in terms of human rights and to take the necessary measures
