The
rol of Water Safety Plans in the Regulation of Water Services
For the successful implementation of a water safety
plan, commitment of all the actors associated to the drinking
water services: local authorities, regulators and suppliers
is vital. A collaborative approach within the “Framework
for Drinking Water Safety” seeks to develop public health
objectives.
Accordingly, it is of special relevance that the 9th Annual
Assembly of the Association of Regulating Entities of Water
and Sanitation of the Americas, ADERASA (http://www.aderasa.org/),
has considered within its program, the discussion of the Water
Safety Plan management approach.
IX Asamblea Anual de ADERASA |
The Association of Regulating Entities of Water and Sanitation
of the Americas, ADERASA, the most important organization
at regional level in the matter of regulation, will celebrate
its 9th Annual Assembly in Lima, Peru.
Members of the 19 countries from Latin America and the Caribbean
that comprise ADERASA will participate in this meeting. Since
its creation in 2001, ADERASA works to improve the quality
of the services of water and sanitation for the benefit of
the people in the region. The National Supervisor of Sanitation
Services in Peru (SUNASS) will be the host institution of
these events.
In addition, ADERASA has planned to organize an International
Seminar titled “The role of the regulator in the 21st
Century: challenges and opportunities" to be carried
out on September 29 - 30 as well as the 2nd Ibero American
Regulation Forum “Contribution of the regulation to
the sustainable economic growth and the quality of life of
the citizens” to be held the next two days of the seminar
on October 1 – 2, 2009.
Within the framework of the International Seminar and facing
the necessity of the governments to deal with the international
crisis, different international and national organizations,
experts from water and sanitation companies, national, regional
and local authorities will jointly analyze ways to improve
performance through regulatory approaches, efficiency and
financial viability. The Seminar also intends to create an
inclusive space for the participation of institutions related
to water that wish to present their services, products and
activities, as well as a space to stimulate the public - private
alliances and cooperation.
The Seminar has been organized around four sessions:
1. Water and sanitation in the context of the international
crisis
2. Protection of water sources and climate change
3. Lessons learned with Peru´s Program Water for All
4. Participation of the private sector in the management of
water and sanitation services: challenges and opportunities.
This
meeting has the support of ECLAC, IWA, World Water Council,
SUEZ and VEOLIA among others.
