DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The report seeks to evaluate the belief that regionalization of water supply holds the key to the water supply problems in the United States. To do this, the report examines the theory and practices of regionalized small water supply systems. It then investigates the case for regionalization on account of the fear for water supply shortages. This is followed by a critical look at interbasin water transfer and its problem. The report introduces an econometric model as a tool for evaluating the land value changes from regionalization of water supply. The report finds that in addition to political and institutional constraints, most regionalization plans failed because the problems of efficiency and equity were not resolved. (Author).
