| Résumé anglais |
Historically speaking, public utilities have been managed by a form of regulated monopoly. Microeconomic theory explains this phenomenon by the cost structure and the presence of economies of scale. Regarding the water supply sector, public health considerations also argue in favour of monopoly supply. Nevertheless, this management option has become more and more controversial, and not just within the industrialised countries. In Delhi, for instance, new solutions are emerging, yet they are less institutionalised and more informal. The upcoming challenge lies in assessing whether these new networks are indeed sustainable.
