Abstract

Many communities engage in water-sharing arrangements (WSAs) with nearby communities. Using data characterizing drinking water systems in the Canadian province of Ontario, we assess the following question: Do WSAs influence drinking water quality outcomes for recipient water systems? We find that WSAs are associated with improved drinking water quality outcomes for First Nations recipient systems. We do not associate WSAs with improved outcomes for municipal recipient systems. These differing effects may be due to provincial state capacity, which is available to all municipalities, irrespective of WSA status, and the subset of First Nations systems in a WSA.

第一民族和市政当局之间的合作:水共享安排能改善饮用水质量吗?

许多社区与附近社区进行水资源共享安排。利用加拿大安大略省饮用水系统的特征数据，我们评估了以下问题：WSA是否会影响受纳水系统的饮用水质量结果？我们发现，WSA与改善原住民接收系统的饮用水质量结果有关。我们没有将WSA与改善城市接受者系统的结果联系起来。这些不同的影响可能是由于省级国家能力，无论WSA的地位如何，所有市镇都可以使用该能力，以及WSA中的原住民系统的子集。
