Reclaiming Public Water

Challenging widespread prejudices, 'Reclaiming Public Water' presents a wide range of examples of how public utility reform has resulted in major improvements in access to clean water and sanitation, not least for the poorest. The book is written by water utility managers and civil society campaigners from more than twenty countries from around the world.
