Beskrivning

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.
