Cooperation between First Nations and Municipalities: Do Water-Sharing Arrangements Improve Drinking Water Quality?
研究加拿大安大略省的数据，发现水共享安排改善了原住民社区的饮用水质量，但对市政系统无显著影响，可能与省级支持有关。
<h3>Abstract</h3> 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 Nation 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 Nation systems in a WSA.
