Globally, the challenges of climate change have resulted in significant water policy reform. Australia’s Murray Darling Basin (MDB) Plan is a complex transboundary water management system that aims to balance the need for environmental protection with the needs of social and economic users of water. In July 2017, media reports argued that some MDB irrigators were misappropriating water destined for the environment and downstream users. This article uses Foucauldian discourse analysis to explore this flashpoint in the long-standing tensions between all stakeholders including the Basin jurisdictions. Diverse understandings of who is entitled to water that are shaped by the historical, political and social context are central to this conflict. Findings suggest that both neoliberal governmentality and the agrarian discourse are threatened by an emerging governmentality that embraces non-farming interests. The broader experience of water scarcity in a rapidly changing climate suggests comparable issues will become evident across the world.

Three colored surface water nanofiltration pilot-scale projects were conducted in the province of Quebec (eastern Canada), between November 2000 and March 2002, by the company H2O Innovation (2000) inc., for the municipalities of Lac Bouchette, Latulipe-et-Gaboury and Charlesbourg (now part of Quebec City). Results indicated that nanofiltration permeate quality has an advance on present drinking water regulation standard in Quebec, but important membrane fouling occurred. Fouling can be controlled by pretreatment and optimization of the operating conditions.

New Model

Este  artigo  explora as  contradições do  novo modelo institucional no  Brasil, cuja  implementação vem  provocando mudanças significativas na  posição  dos municípios no  que diz  respeito ao controle dos serviços de  água e saneamento. A partir  da  Lei 9.433197,  analisa-se as  adaptações  dos municípios  ao  novo  quadro  institucional. Argumenta-se que as mudanças propostas não garantem a competitividade na indústria de água e saneamento, pressuposto dos marcos regulatórios vigentes.Abstract:This paper explores  the contradictions in  the new model  of the water regulation  in Brazil, which  result  in a reconfiguration of  the position of  the municipalities  in the water  industry. We  briefly outline the main  changes introduced by  the 9433 Law  (Water Law) and  analyze how the municipalities are adjusting  themselves  to  this new order. The changes  in  the  Rio  de  Janeiro water  industry provide  an  example  in  which  institutional shifts are no guarantees  to produce competitiveness in  the water industry.

This chapter focuses on legal instruments that take a broad view of water regulation. There are, as yet, no framework statutory instruments at the state or Union level but drafts have been prepared and this chapter reproduces the latest draft National Water Framework Bill. The next section then moves on to water policies that have been adopted at the Union and state level for some years, highlighting here the National Water Policy, 2012. The last section focuses on an upcoming area of water law, inter-sectoral allocation of water, an issue that is not yet well covered in legal instruments. This section highlights some state-level instruments that seek to address the issue.
