The first part describes the legal framework which rules the sector in Italy, its evolution since the last 20 years, and its weaknesses. The second part describes the governance of Italian water utilities, distinguishing full public-owned companies from public-private partnership and private companies. The third part reports insights on water utilities performance to enquire the presence of economies by scope, scale and density in the Italian water sector, and to verify the presence of any differences in terms of efficiency and tariffs among public and private firms. The fourth part describes the investment policies carried out by water utilities, observing the total amount of per capita investments and the actual realization of planned investments. The fifth part describes if and how utilities applied water conservation practices to incentive the sustainable water use.SpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,2194-7244Economic policyEnvironmental managementWater-supplySustainable developmentEnvironmental lawEnvironmental policyEconomic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000Water Industry/Water Technologieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/214000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Environmental Law/Policy/Ecojusticehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002Economic policy.Environmental management.Water-supply.Sustainable development.Environmental law.Environmental policy.Economic Policy.Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.Water Industry/Water Technologies.Sustainable Development.Environmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.363.610683Guerrini Andreaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut327652Romano Giuliaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298371603321Water Management in Italy2532986UNINA
