Water
Access to reliable water and sewerage services is critical to build sustainable communities and maximize economic development opportunities. On the other hand, strong natural monopoly characteristics of the sector and interaction between economic and environmental regulations pose particular challenges, compared with other utility and infrastructure sectors. These challenges include development of clear, effective and innovative institutional and market arrangements that promote the twin goals of efficiency and sustainability, including appropriate pricing of water and sewerage services, more efficient services, and clarification of water management responsibilities and goals.
