Three colored surface water nanofiltration pilot-scale projects were conducted in the province of Quebec (eastern Canada), between November 2000 and March 2002, by the company H2O Innovation (2000) inc., for the municipalities of Lac Bouchette, Latulipe-et-Gaboury and Charlesbourg (now part of Quebec City). Results indicated that nanofiltration permeate quality has an advance on present drinking water regulation standard in Quebec, but important membrane fouling occurred. Fouling can be controlled by pretreatment and optimization of the operating conditions.

New Model

Este  artigo  explora as  contradições do  novo modelo institucional no  Brasil, cuja  implementação vem  provocando mudanças significativas na  posição  dos municípios no  que diz  respeito ao controle dos serviços de  água e saneamento. A partir  da  Lei 9.433197,  analisa-se as  adaptações  dos municípios  ao  novo  quadro  institucional. Argumenta-se que as mudanças propostas não garantem a competitividade na indústria de água e saneamento, pressuposto dos marcos regulatórios vigentes.Abstract:This paper explores  the contradictions in  the new model  of the water regulation  in Brazil, which  result  in a reconfiguration of  the position of  the municipalities  in the water  industry. We  briefly outline the main  changes introduced by  the 9433 Law  (Water Law) and  analyze how the municipalities are adjusting  themselves  to  this new order. The changes  in  the  Rio  de  Janeiro water  industry provide  an  example  in  which  institutional shifts are no guarantees  to produce competitiveness in  the water industry.

This chapter focuses on legal instruments that take a broad view of water regulation. There are, as yet, no framework statutory instruments at the state or Union level but drafts have been prepared and this chapter reproduces the latest draft National Water Framework Bill. The next section then moves on to water policies that have been adopted at the Union and state level for some years, highlighting here the National Water Policy, 2012. The last section focuses on an upcoming area of water law, inter-sectoral allocation of water, an issue that is not yet well covered in legal instruments. This section highlights some state-level instruments that seek to address the issue.

In the last few years the behavior of undertakings operating in the regulated utility markets, such as energy, water and communications, has been in the focus of the Bulgarian Competition Authority (hereinafter, BCA). Typically, these companies are dominant due to their exclusive licenses to operate in a certain territory and thus the contents of their contractual relationships with customers are often defined in general terms and conditions (hereinafter, GTCs) adopted or approved by the respective sector regulator. Most or all aspects of their pricing policy is also subject to sector regulation. By analysing critically two landmark decisions of the BCA concerning abuses of companies active in the energy markets, this paper raises the following questions: (1) to what extent the BCA is competent to intervene and sanction those undertakings for conduct which is subject of regulatory control by the sector regulator (the Energy and Water Regulation Commission (hereinafter, EWRC)) and (2) whether in its enforcement practice against those undertakings, the BCA is following the legal standards adopted by the EU courts.
