ABSTRACT
The global move from rural to urban settlements continues, and the challenge is to provide a safe, sufficient and sustainable water supply and sanitation. The ability of governments to manage existing complex water resources systems and continue their future development seems to be limited, and therefore new partnerships with the private sector are being investigated. Treating water as an economic good may help to balance the supply and demand of water, thereby sustaining the flow of goods and services from this important natural asset. Real participation is more than consultation, and requires that stakeholders at all levels of the social structure have an impact on decisions at different levels of water management. The basic idea behind a quantum computer is that data can be entered and placed in a superposition which transforms a certain number of input bits into an arbitrarily large number of superposed quantum bits upon which computation can occur simultaneously.
