An Uncooperative Commodity cover

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.

...the definitive book on the commodification of water, it is authoritative, thoroughly researched, and elegantly structured. * Environment and Planning C: Government and Ppolicy 2005 *
