Water Services Management and Governance focuses on water services
(water supply, wastewater services) and deals with connections
between water resources and services and water resources. It covers
water supply mainly in urban communities, sanitation and pollution
control and water resources and their linkages to water services.
This book is divided in to four key sections relating to governance
frameworks, technology and socio-ecological interactions,
government and governance, and long terms policies. The chapters
analyse the complexity of the water services sector based on a
historical analysis of developments within the sector. The
underlying conviction is that only by understanding past trends,
processes and developments can the current situation in the water
services be understood. Only through this understanding can
policies for sustainable water services in the future be
formulated. The four key sections relate to governance frameworks,
technology and socio-ecological interactions, government and
governance, and long terms policies. Water Services Management and
Governance raises awareness that an understanding of the past is a
necessity to explore potential, probable and preferable futures. It
is an essential basis for water sector reforms in any country,
region or community. The book is written for experts in water
utilities, ministries, municipalities, NGOs, donor agencies,
private companies and regulators; as well as students and
researchers in water policy and governance, and the management of
water resources, services and infrastructure. EDITORS Dr. Petri S.

the literature on water governance is a timely, thorough, and
practical set of assessments of management challenges facing water
service providers around the world. The diverse set of case
studies, many of which focus on reforms to water supply provision,
will be of interest to students and practitioners alike." KAREN
BAKKER, Professor/Canada Research Chair, Director of the Program on
Water Governance, The University of British Columbia "The anthology
makes a very useful contribution to speed up the slow political
awakening of reaching universal water services coverage: The lack
of water services is in most cases not due to shortages of water,
money and technologies, it is rather about poor governance. It
provides many different insights from various cultural and
political contexts and outlines and explains current changes in the
governance architectures of water supply and sanitation." DR. HAKAN
