BLUE BOOK 2026

The 2026 edition analyzes the growing global state of “water bankruptcy” and its economic, climatic, and social implications for the Mediterranean region and Italy. The volume examines the state of national water service governance, the cycle of service contract awards over the coming decade, and the sustainability of investments in the post-PNRR era. It also addresses water quality and safety, critical infrastructure issues (such as leakage and reuse), and innovative tools like satellite monitoring and blue certificates. Finally, the publication proposes a governance model rooted in resilience, industrial efficiency, and water ethics.
