Since the privatization of water, this book is the first to review the changed water agencies and the interactions of environmentalism, privatization and regulation. It looks at: the case for privatization and the hazards implicit in its strong private monopoly character; whether regulation can substitute for public ownership; pollution control and the changes in attitudes and habits which people must undergo if water resources are to be maintained.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Good water is in danger of becoming scarcer. The combined effects of pollution and expanding demand have increased this threat, even in England and other places long regarded as well-atered. For regions such as the Middle East and the Mediterranean, the sunshine and seaside playground for much of Europe, the overload of claims on the water environment is yet more serious. How will the many diverse interests involved cope with the damaging consequences of their own activities, especially in waste disposal? The author gives an extensive overciew of these major issues in Britain and beyond. From the changes that began in the 1950s, he moves on to discuss water privatization and European water directives as parts of a process of adaptation to environment constraints that are likely to be challenging for water agencies well beyond the 1990s. The role of infrastructure services, conservation and regulation, and the way we pay for water are among other areas reviewed, including the recognition that even leisure uses of water are now subject to some overload. Everyone using water will be affected by these changes as they reach well beyond the water agencies and their financing. This lively analysis of the key issues and problems is for anyone concerned with the continuing existence of rivers sparkling in the landscape and serving as waste disposal and life support systems in our natural environment. 229 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
