Description

Product Description The privatization of water supply and wastewater systems, together with institutional restructuring of governance – through decentralization and the penetration of global firms in local and regional markets – have been promoted as solutions to increase economic efficiency and achieve universal water supply and sanitation coverage. Yet a significant share of service provision and water resources development remains the responsibility of public authorities. The chapters in this book – with case evidence from Argentina, Chile, France, the USA, and other countries – address critical questions that dominate the international agenda on public versus private utilities, service provision, regulations, and resource development. This book presents varied perspectives – largely complementary but at times contrasting – on public and private governance of water. Public authority in general is being reasserted over service provision, while resource development and investments in infrastructure continue as a mix of public and private initiatives. But more important, increased oversight and regulation of market-based initiatives that until recently were touted as panaceas for water supply and sanitation are increasingly being reconsidered on the basis of social equity, environmental, and public health concerns. This book was based on the special issue of Water International. Review "[T]he book presents valuable insights in an area of increasing importance, one that is undergoing significant change. The editors provide a lucid introductory chapter summarizing each of the articles in the book…" – Kenneth S. Friedman, Regis University, USA, Interdisciplinary Journal of Economics and Business Law About the Author Christopher Scott is an interdisciplinary scholar focusing on global-change adaptation and social-ecological resilience with emphasis on the water-energy nexus, urbanization, river-basin water resource assessments, and climate and water policy. His applied research on water policy focuses on infrastructure and the built environment, resource planning for urban water supply, water reuse, and agriculture, with particular attention to groundwater. Bernard de Gouvello works at the intersection of water resources and policy, and has ample experience in Europe and Latin America. He has gained international recognition for his research and publications on municipal water reforms, privatization, and public governance.
