This book contributes to solving those problems by identifying systematic shortcomings and proposing solutions to improve the financial conditions in two representative cities: Hyderabad and Varanasi. Serious improvements are necessary for the further development of the water supply and sanitation networks in these areas.   Pricing Urban Water offers a theoretical introduction to economics of the water sector, including the theory of water pricing and tariff systems, combined with detailed analyses of the water supply and sanitation infrastructure as well as of the municipal suppliers of Hyderabad and Varanasi. Introducing a method for estimating future water production costs in both cities serves as the basis for a tariff revision, which is put forward as one solution to improve the poor financial conditions both suppliers are in. Besides the revision of the tariff systems, some considerations on how to supply and charge urban poor and on the inclusion of private borewells in the tariffs are part of the discussion. Changes in both the organizational structure of the service providers and in the current delivery and use of the services are presented as further solutions to the problems in this sector.SpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,2194-7244Development economicsEnvironmental managementSustainable developmentWater-supplyDevelopment Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Water Industry/Water Technologieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/214000IndiaHyderabadfastIndiaVārānasi (Uttar Pradesh)fastDevelopment economics.Environmental management.Sustainable development.Water-supply.Development Economics.Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.Sustainable Development.Water Industry/Water Technologies.628.1091732Echternacht Lauraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061754MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298364803321Pricing Urban Water2519983UNINA
