The results of the study "International Comparison of Water Management" have been published in five volumes by the Austrian Federal Chamber of Labour and the Austrian Association of Cities. The synthesis and conclusion of the study, which provides a systematic comparison against European and economic background, is now also available in English.

Over the past years, the future of the water sector has been increasingly subject to discussion in Austria. Against this background, Ecologic in cooperation with the Institute of Public Finance and Infrastructure Policy (IFIP), Vienna University of Technology, was commissioned to carry out a study which provides a scientific and empirical analysis of the Austrian and selected international systems for water services. It analyses the vastly differing systems of water supply and sewerage services in Austria, France, England and Wales, as well as Germany and the Netherlands.

The study was published in six volumes, which can be downloaded here:
