As we navigate the complex landscape of water management, understanding the policies and regulations that shape the sector becomes crucial. That’s why we are excited to introduce the Water Basics Series, a comprehensive collection of articles designed to shed light on the fundamental aspects of water regulation and the relevant EU directives.
The goal of the Water Basics Series is simple yet profound: to equip individuals with the knowledge and insights needed to comprehend the intricacies of economic regulation and its impact on our society. We firmly believe that informed citizens make better decisions, and by demystifying the complexities of water policies, we can foster a deeper understanding of the importance of effective regulation.
Throughout the series, we delve into a wide range of topics, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of water regulation. We start by addressing the fundamental question, “What is economic regulation?” From there, we explore the concept of tariffs and delve into the European principles on water pricing. We also delve into crucial areas such as water governance, the intersection of water regulation with the environment, climate change, and water scarcity.
Moreover, we tackle the critical issue of water quality and provide a comprehensive understanding of the drinking water and wastewater sectors. Additionally, we examine the interconnections between water and other vital sectors such as energy and food, exploring the Water-Energy Nexus and the Water-Food Nexus.
To fully grasp the context in which water regulation operates, we cannot overlook the relevant EU directives and regulations that shape the policies we abide by. In the Water Basics Series, we analyse key directives such as the Drinking Water Directive, the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, the Water Framework Directive, and many more.
We are committed to producing high-quality content that simplifies complex ideas, making them accessible to a wide audience. Whether you are an industry professional, a policymaker, or simply an engaged citizen, the Water Basics Series offers valuable insights that will enhance your understanding of water regulation and its far-reaching implications.
