Glimpses of resilience: Water services under Law 241/2006 in Romania

Abstract

This paper explores the concept of resilience within legal frameworks. By examining resilience within the water services sector, the paper clarifies the imperative of building flexible systems capable of withstanding shocks and adapting to changing circumstances while ensuring the sustainability of essential functions. Furthermore, the study investigates the presence of resilience or lack of it within Romanian Law No. 241/2006, discerning glimpses of resilience through an assessment of the legal framework's responsiveness to unforeseen challenges and its evolution over time. By highlighting the role of resilience within legal frameworks, this research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how legal mechanisms can effectively prepare for and mitigate future adversities.
