This text looks at the opportunities and challenges of managing the European water environment, detailing the effects of the reorganization of the industry in Western Europe, and of the political changes in Eastern Europe. Eastern European countries now have a unique opportunity to draw from Western experience when reconstructing their regulatory and organizational framework for water management. The book also looks at the many issues relating to the environment. The economics of water management are outlined in the opening chapters, followed by Western and Eastern European case-studies. This work should be of interest to academics and postgraduates in economics, resource planning, economic history, to policy makers and to all those concerned with problems pertaining to the environment, water industry reform and Eastern Europe's transition to the market system.
