DRINKING WATER: LEGISLATION, POLICY, ECONOMIC ASPECTS...

The book is structured in two parts. The first one presents and analyzes the legal and policy issues related to drinking water quality at EU and national level (with reference to Romania). The second one is a practical approach to the economic side of water as natural resource and commodity. It includes two case studies based on surveys and focused on consumers from Cluj-Napoca (Romania). Without claiming to be an exhaustive study, the paper aims to bring new information to the Romanian publishing context and to provide a useful tool for those interested in shaping a more sustainable framework for water.
