This significant new book highlights a little acknowledged but
potentially catastrophic crisis of innovation in the global water
sector, which institutions and industries are frighteningly
ill-equipped to tackle or even accept. It suggests potential new
technology and policy approaches to overcome both current and
future problems. The book explores how technological innovation is
vital to help provide sustainable water in both the UK and
developing countries. However, innovation is being overlooked in
the face of global trends to privatize and regulate water
utilities. The authors highlight how the global water sector is
failing to respond to increasingly complex world needs and
continues to build largely unsustainable centralized
infrastructures, opposing more appropriate, distributed and local
modern technologies. The book also includes suggestions for
potentially innovative technology and policy solutions to meet
escalating global water and wastewater demands. Importantly, the
authors adopt a long-term perspective that crosses both
disciplinary and institutional boundaries, and include an
international comparative perspective, covering a diverse range of
examples and countries. This comprehensive book will have a broad
appeal amongst researchers and academics with an interest in
technology management, innovation studies, geography and
development studies. It will also be a valuable asset for water
regulators and governmental and non-governmental organisations
working in this field.
