            Abstract : 
This paper assesses the deregulation and liberalization movement of the water sector in the European Union. It presents three different models as illustrated by three different countries: full privatization in England & Wales, PPPs in France, and public corporatization in Germany. For each of these distinct reform models the drivers and impediments are analyzed.
