Optimizing regulatory frameworks for safe and clean drinking-water
4 August 2011
| Technical document
Overview
The enclosed issue sheets provide guidance on how to optimize the use of regulation to protect public health through drinking-water quality management.
The intended audience of these issue sheets consists of drinking-water regulators who want to establish, update or amend their regulatory frameworks. Given the broad scope of regulations with an impact on whether drinking-water is sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable, the guidance will be of use to other regulators whose mandate includes responsibilities with the potential to improve drinking-water quality, as well. These may include environmental, public health and economic regulators.
