Yeah, they didn’t put it in the constitution probably because they thought clean water is a given. I’m sure they thought “nobody will be stupid enough to have to be told this is a human right”.
Water filtration existed in the 1700s. I think I read somewhere in europe had a patent for mechanical water filtration. So there was some concept of clean vs dirty water
