Author(s) : Mehdi Guelmamen

Abstract : Drinking water governance has emerged as a critical issue for policymakers. Climate change and the increase in human consumption exacerbate drought episodes, and the institutional arrangements for providing drinking water are increasingly diverse but vary in effectiveness. This paper explores the various contemporary organizational pathways in drinking water governance. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and implications of different organizational approaches in water management, shedding light on policy and strategic choices for sustainable and effective governance. Recommendations for future research are also considered.

Key-words : Drinking water governance, local government, public services, literature review.
