Résumé
Summary
French outermost island with abundant but unevenly distributed water resources, ageing infrastructure and relatively high household bills under progressive block tariffs. The pilot applies economic and digital modelling tools, combined with structured stakeholder dialogue, to assess tariff scenarios, guide investment in leakage reduction and support more coherent, equitable water governance.
Led by University of La Reunion
