Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Satisfying the wide variety of water supply, water quality, environmental protection, and other demands placed on wastewater systems requires innovation throughout the sector (Kiparsky et al. 2013). Previous research on innovation in urban wastewater utilities in California identified several barriers, including cost and financing; risk and risk aversion; and regulatory compliance (Kiparsky et al. 2016). The question of regulation deserves further exploration: while technology-forcing environmental regulations are designed to encourage innovation, almost a third of wastewater utility managers in the previous study cited regulatory requirements as a barrier to innovation.
This study examines the relationships between regulation and innovation in the wastewater sector.
