This title examines the privatisation and regulation of water supply in England and Wales, exploring the relationship between socio-economic restructuring and environmental change, and linking privatisation to changing patterns of public policy and trends in public services provision in Britain.
Privatization of water suply is an emotive and controversial topic. The 'British model' of water privatization is unique: no other country has entirely privatized its water supply and sewerage systems. This book analyzes the socio-economic and environmental dimensions of privatization in England and Wales. It examines the implications of privatization for consumers, environmental management, and the water supply industry.
