Abstract |
A pragmatic assessment of urban water sector reform options in India has to take place in a context where assets remain in the public sector and where the private sector is likely to play only a very limited role. As in India, under the Australian Constitution, the provision of water is the responsibility of the state and territory governments. Two characteristics of the Australian sector reform experience are of particular interest in the Indian context. |
