Abstract
The United Nations SDG6 goal of ensuring universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation by 2030 will require increased investment in the rehabilitation and maintenance of water infrastructure. In Italy, the water sector has not yet reached the performance of other European countries. The hierarchization of investments is essential for identifying priorities and efficiently allocating resources. This issue is part of the debate on the reconciliation of public and private needs in the management of water services. The present research proposes a model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Taking into account the design alternatives considered optimal that contribute to the resolution of territorial criticalities, the model organizes them in a ranking that indicates the chronological priorities to be respected in the investments to be made. The evaluation criteria are set in compliance with the norms defined by the National Authority (ARERA). The model is tested on a water manager in the Campania region. Among the main results, it is found that the two extremes of the ranking are shared between the two actors involved in the investment strategy (the private operator and public regulator). The model represents an effective tool for identifying shared planning strategies between public and private operators.
