New edition available September 2013 Institutional Governance and
Regulation of Water Services provides the key elements of policy,
governance and regulation necessary for sustainable water and
sanitation services. On policy matters, it covers important aspects
of separation of policy and delivery, integrated planning,
sustainable cost recovery, provisions for the poor, and
transparency. Regulation and Regulatory Bodies are presented in
their various forms, with discussion of why some form of
independent scrutiny is essential for sustainability. There is a
separate chapter on Drinking Water Quality Regulation including
setting standards and discussion on how to incorporate managing
risk in regulatory approaches. It is the first book to give a
comprehensive review of the key elements of policy, governance and
regulation for sustainable water services, based on experience from
around the world. The focus is on what works and what does not,
based on consideration of basic principles and on case studies in
both developing and developed countries. Institutional Governance
and Regulation of Water Services is an invaluable information
source for national and local governments responsible for water
policy, for water utility managers, and for students who will be
the policy makers of tomorrow. It should also be of value to all
those concerned with water policy matters in donor agencies and
international banks as well as for academics involved in the
teaching of water policy, governance and regulation. About the
author: Michael Rouse is a Distinguished Research Associate at the
University of Oxford and manages the Institutional Governance and
Regulation module of the University's MSc Course on Water Science,

Inspectorate in London and has extensive knowledge and experience

sector management and privatisation. He has wide knowledge of water
technical and operational matters, based on his applied research
and development background at the Water Research Centre, where he

understanding of international water matters and advises
governments on policy and regulation. He is a Past President of the
