Regulatory Frameworks for Water Resources Management : A Comparative Study
This note contains a summary, for
practitioners, of the World Bank Law, Justice, and
Development Series Book Regulatory Frameworks for Water
Resources Management: a comparative study (2006). It
examines how the regulatory frameworks in 16 jurisdictions
worldwide have addressed the various basic issues related to
water resources management, provides a comparative analysis
of those issues, and highlights the essential elements of
the regulatory frameworks that are emerging in response.
Most countries have laws or regulations (and in fewer cases
constitutional clauses) relating to ownership, management,
and allocation of water. These provisions are often,
however, out of date, over complex, lacking in clarity, or
fragmented. For the comparative analysis, regulatory
frameworks for water resources management were selected from
16 jurisdictions: Armenia, Brazil, Cameroon, China, Costa
Rica, European Union (EU), France, Germany, Kazakhstan,
Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, Senegal, South Africa, Vietnam, and
the Republic of Yemen.
