In recent years the water sector has undergone profound
institutional, economic and political transformations. Some
countries have encouraged privatization of water services, but in
many cases this has provoked adverse reaction to such a neoliberal
and market-based approach to this common shared but essential
resource. This book goes beyond the ideology of the public versus
private water regime debate, by focusing on the results of these
types of initiatives to provide better water services, particularly
in urban settings. It provides numerous examples of alternative
models, to show who is responsible for implementing such systems
and what are their social, institutional and technical-scientific
characteristics. Policies are analysed in terms of their
implications for employees and residents. The book presents a new
combinatory approach of water regimes, based on several
international case studies (Argentina, Bolivia, China, France,
Germany, India, South Africa and the USA, plus a comparison of
three cities in Africa) presenting specific challenges for water
models. These case studies demonstrate the successes and problems
of a range of private sector involvements in the provision of water
services, and provide examples of how small-scale systems can
compare with larger-scale more technical systems.
