ABSTRACT
Chapters 5 and 6 will present case studies from the South, the East and the North. Through these case studies, we seek to illustrate the main points made so far, namely the spreading of the new approach to water resources management, the central role played by the World Bank and, above all, the rise of water or public services TNCs. The purpose of these two chapters is twofold: on the one hand, they will illustrate how each case is different, and that it is therefore difficult to apply one single model to water resources management, as is done by the World Bank. On the other hand, the presentation of these cases will serve as empirical material for developing, in Chapter 7, recommendations for water resources management in the future.
