Responsibility and management of water supply

Various institutions are responsible for water supply. The most basic division is that some institutions are responsible for formulating water supply policies and regulations; Another part of the organization is responsible for providing facilities.

laws and regulations

Water supply policies and regulations are usually formulated by one or several departments after consultation with the legal department. In the United States, the administrative report of the American Environmental Protection Association is submitted directly to the President, who is responsible for formulating policies and regulations on water and sanitation.

In other countries, the responsibility for formulation is generally entrusted to the Ministry of Environmental Protection (such as Mexico and Colombia), the Ministry of Health (such as Panama, Honduras and Uruguay), the Ministry of Public Affairs (such as Ecuador and Haiti), the Ministry of Economy (such as Germany) or the Ministry of Energy (such as Iran). A few countries, such as Jordan and Bolivia, even have water resources departments.

Generally speaking, several departments are responsible for water supply. Within the EU, some important policy actions have been entrusted to supranational organizations. The implementation of policies and regulations includes setting tax rates and passing tax increase resolutions; Formulate, supervise and strengthen service quality and environmental protection standards; Setting benchmarks for the performance of service providers; Accelerate the reform and improvement of service providers.

The boundary between policy implementation and supervision is not so clear. In some countries, government departments are responsible, while in other countries, the supervision function is undertaken by associations independent of government departments.

Regulatory association

Many countries in the world have established regulatory associations related to infrastructure services, usually including water supply and sanitation associations, to better protect consumers and improve efficiency. Regulatory associations have many responsibilities, especially approving tax increase agreements and managing operational information systems, including performance systems.

Sometimes they also accept and handle complaints from consumers who are dissatisfied with the services provided by suppliers. Compared with government departments, these specialized agencies are more capable and objective in supervising service providers. The supervision department is more independent than the government administrative department, but in many countries, the supervision department is not so independent in actual operation.

For a century in American history, regulators were managed by states, while in Canada, regulators were managed by provinces. In many developing countries, with the tide of privatization at that time, most water resources supervision associations were established in the 1990s.

In many countries, there are no water resources management associations. In these countries, suppliers are directly managed by local or national governments. These countries include countries in continental Europe, China and India.

Service provision

Water supply services are usually a part of national public utilities, and these services vary according to their geographical coverage, industry coverage, affiliation and government arrangements based on borders.
