With World Water Day coming on March 22 and the World Bank Water Week 2007 just over, it is time for PSD Blog to chime in.
This week two experts will bring you some of the latest thinking here at the World Bank and IFC on water issues. What role should the World Bank play in privatization of water utilities? Should IFC pay for high-risk, micro-scale technologies? Is all water worth cleaning?
World Bank’s Tracy Hart, a global technical advisor to trans-boundary water resource management projects, and Corinne Figueredo, from the IFC Cleaner Technologies program, promise to answer these questions and more.
Comments are encouraged and we'll keep the track of the debate here:
- Tracy on new currents in water supply
- Corinne on thinking global and starting local
- Tracy on challenges in water treatment
- Corinne on carrots and sticks for cleaner production
- Usha on the need for investing in water
- Tracy asks "what's next?"
