| Summary: | Water is a scarce resource and an important basic necessity for the human
survival. The quantity of potable water on earth is limited and its
availability per person is reducing day by day due to increase in global
population and damage to environment. Though water available in nature is
free, sizeable investment is needed in order to supply water to the people at
their doorsteps with required quality. This paper deals with the role of
financial institutions in the balanced distribution of water for the public,
the related problems with various regulatory instruments, and ethical
perspectives for efficient utilization of this scarce resource through
internal control aimed at long term sustainability. |
