Further, the study verifies the question of the principle of reserve for contingencies and existential minimum in terms of sanitation and seeks ways to establish jurisdictional control of such public policies and their limits, in the light of constitutional principles affecting the interpretation and analyzes benchmarks of breaches of the right to basic sanitation in accordance with the principles of the law of national guidelines for basic sanitation.
