Accountability in Water Management

SWOT Strength: Accountability in Water Management
Government officials, especially in emerging countries, lack the appropriate experience or desire to accurately track the usage and fees generated from the distribution of water. This problem leads to mistrust between the governments and the private sector, because fee increases don't actually increase the quality or availability of water supplies. The private sector assumes that water tariffs are misused, but if the distribution of water is done by a private subcontractor, then the accountability of the subcontractor can reassure the private sector that water management is done accurately. This benefit of water management companies who will see increased business and it eases the burden on governments, who can pawn off concerns to a private company.
