At the regulatory level, decisions made for water allocation and sharing can be captured to favour the interests of a small number of water service providers and users. Undue influence at the policy-making level can also distort or prevent effective enforcement of environmental regulations, with private companies and corrupt public officials colluding to cover up the environmental and social impact of major water projects, or distort the selection and approval of major water schemes.[1] This is ultimately likely to affect the cost and quality of large-scale water infrastructure projects and undermine the sustainability of water resources.
