Regional Solutions to Water Supply Provision (Paperback)

Regional solutions are any of the many options through which one water system will work with (or join) one or more water systems to address a problem or common need. These can range from combining and interconnecting physical systems to simple cooperative planning and management activities, such as joint purchasing agreements to realize quantity discounts. This report examines regional solution options, discusses the benefits and issues of the various options, and shares key lessons learned from actual utility regionalization efforts. Includes CD-ROM: Regional Solutions Tool.
