The combined effects of growing pressure on resources, ageing networks and climate change are calling into question the sustainability of the current water model in France. Long polarised around the public/private debate, the sector has done little to explore the central issue of its regulation, even though many questions remain unanswered:

- What is the scope, given that the small and large cycles are increasingly intertwined?
- How can economic regulation be reconciled with the current governance of the sector?
