Water

Water management and regulation must be enhanced across the European Union if they are to meet the significant challenges of the sector in the coming decades. The environmental and climate change urgency, infrastructure and technology gaps and growing tensions between investments needs and affordability of water are some of the most pressing issues for the sector.

While these developments are poised to grow in importance and urgency, much remains to be done for effective regulation. In a highly politically charged debate, CERRE research aims at clarifying the role of the market participants while considering the facts and lessons learned from the water industry and other regulated sectors.
