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.
