La 4e de couverture indique : "Cet ouvrage présente les résultats d'un programme international de recherche consacré à l'étude de l'eau dans le Maghreb romain. L'objectif principal y était de faire réfléchir et dialoguer des spécialistes de différentes disciplines : historiens, archéologues, géographes. La première partie est une approche croisée des différentes méthodologies mises en œuvre quand il est question de la gestion de l'eau dans l'Afrique romaine, mais aussi dans d'autres régions de l'Empire à titre de comparaison. Sont ainsi exposés le traitement des sources écrites - littéraires, juridiques, gromatiques et épigraphiques -, l'application des méthodes géoarchéologiques, ainsi que la modélisation par le biais d'un Système d'Information Géographique. La deuxième partie traite de la gestion de l'eau à l'échelle de différents territoires, ruraux et urbains. Elle a porté l'attention sur différents cas d'étude qui mettaient en avant la diversité des territoires et des échelles en envisageant aussi bien des régions entières (la plaine du Gharb et le territoire de Volubilis au Maroc, la Tripolitaine occidentale tunisienne) que des cités ou des édifices. La troisième partie est consacrée à l'approvisionnement en eau de différentes communautés humaines et aux ouvrages hydrauliques indispensables pour acheminer l'eau et la rendre accessible au public visé. Ce volume offre ainsi un état des lieux de la recherche sur une histoire de l'environnement du Maghreb romain et sur l'impact de Rome sur un tel paysage."

This book describes the impact of modernization on the organization and sustainability of Urban Water Systems in Europe (UWSEs). Bolognesi explains that the modernization of UWSEs was a regulatory shock that began in the 1990s and was put into action with the EU Water Framework Directive in the year 2000. This process sought to reorganize water governance in order to achieve certain sustainability goals, but it fell short of expectations. Modernization and Urban Water Governance provides an update on the organization and sustainability of UWSEs, while drawing from a comparative analysis of German, French, and English water models and an institutionalist explanation of the current situation. With a focus on transaction costs, property rights allocation and institutional environments, this book argues that the modernization of UWSEs tends to depoliticize these systems and make them more resilient but also limits their potential for sustainable management. This book will be relevant to those wishing to understand the real impacts of water reform in Europe according to national contingencies.
