This paper provides a decadal review of earth system governance (ESG) literature surrounding access and allocation to water, sanitation and hygiene. ‘access and allocation’ is one of five analytical problems, and ‘water’ a cross-cutting theme, identified in the ESG science and implementation plan (Biermann et al. 2010 ). A focused review of ESG and related literature reveals that the ESG literature is very robust in relation to access to water, sanitation and hygiene as a human right. However, the ESG literature lacks a robust, independent consideration of the right to hygiene or sanitation or its linkage and costs vis-à-vis other rights. There is no criteria for resolving competing demands on finite freshwater resources, as well as procedures for balancing rights. It is unclear how a transformed nuanced narrative of water access and allocation rights will address vulnerability and social inequality within this new balancing act.

获取和分配：获得水、环境卫生和个人卫生的权利

本文对地球系统治理 (ESG) 文献围绕水、环境卫生和个人卫生的获取和分配进行了十年回顾。“获取和分配”是五个分析问题之一，“水”是 ESG 科学和实施计划中确定的跨领域主题（Biermann 等人，2010 年）。对 ESG 和相关文献的重点审查表明，ESG 文献在将获得水、环境卫生和个人卫生作为一项人权方面非常有力。然而，ESG 文献缺乏对个人卫生或环境卫生权或其与其他权利的联系和成本的有力、独立的考虑。没有解决对有限淡水资源的竞争性需求的标准，也没有平衡权利的程序。
