Abstract

International audience; In developed countries, a number of factors are leading a growing number of households to drill private boreholes as independent water supplies. This chapter describes this phenomenon based on two case studies conducted in Southern France and Western Australia. It shows that, while the development of private wells was encouraged by the authorities in Perth, it is a major source of environmental, public health, economic and social concern for French water utilities. Household’s motivations to develop independent supply are then investigated. We finaly discuss how water utilities need to adapt their management practices (setting tariffs, demand forecasting and resource protection) to take into account this phenomenon.

Abstract

International audience; This chapter analyses three themes in the evolution of urban water sector governance and regulation in developed countries over the last few decades. The first theme is a reduction in direct government management and control of the urban water systems through a process we describe as devolution. The second theme is the growing sophistication and use of policy tools for regulating the urban water sector, in part as a result of the devolution and separation of ownership, operation, and regulation. The third theme is the re-emergence of broader social and environmental concerns in the water sector, prompting a variety of government responses. The themes are necessarily high level, one reason being that, historically, they have appeared in a variety of forms and under a diversity of governance, regulatory, and environmental circumstances. We draw on evidence from across the developed world and use case studies from Australia and France to illustrate how the themes have manifested.

Abstract

International audience; Urban rivers are central to city planning policies. The aim is to clean up rivers and encourage the return of citizens to their banks. The challenge is to align the interests of developers, water users, and politicians. In the case of the St Charles River, the City of Quebec has combined a large urban renewal program with a project to restore the aquatic ecosystem. This project provides an example of how cities in Quebec are now playing a larger role in water management than they did previously. This paper suggests that the restoration of urban rivers should be associated with a project for economic and social development. Furthermore, restoration (called in this paper “renaturation”) is not enough: cities must also fight against urban sprawl and more effectively protect their freshwater supplies and wetlands.
