Implementations of new water infrastructure projects must overcome several challenges. Many difficulties are faced while introducing new and emerging technologies for water and wastewater treatment. These challenges stem from the irregular availability of (1) financial resources, (2) skilled personnel for planning, design, and operation, and (3) implementation agencies for executing the project works. Challenges are also faced because of inadequate institutional structures and the absence of facilitating government policies. Quite often societal acceptance is not guaranteed.

We discuss infrastructure financing, resources required for implementation, and institutional and policy framework. The importance of social acceptance is also stressed.
