This book, published in collaboration with ERSAR, presents a unique
account of governance and regulatory methods used by different
countries, states and municipalities that will help regulators and
governments all over the world to improve their regulatory
approaches. It is the first book to compile such an amount of data
about regulatory processes of a wide number of countries from the
five continents. It discusses how the characteristics of water and
wastewater services call for regulation and how different countries
apply distinct regulatory methods. By showing 18 country
case-studies, the book offers an interesting perspective as the
regulatory models adopted vary immensely depending on geographical
location, nature and strength of institutions and governments,
political ideology, features and level of development of the
countries. In addition, it provides examples of best practices that
may be important for policy-makers to enhance the regulatory
processes adopted in each country. It looks closely at rules
imposed by state and local governments concerning regulatory issues
and how they are being applied. Regulation of Water and Wastewater
Services covers the fundamental and practical concepts and issues
regarding the regulation of water and wastewater services. It
describes and compares the regulatory methods adopted in several
countries and provides a global overview on regulation. There is
detailed coverage of topics such as quality of service regulation,
economic regulation and public service obligations. This book is
suitable for regulators, academic researchers and students,
consultants, operators and managers, policy-makers and other
stakeholders. Visit the IWA WaterWiki to read and share material
