Public water supply and sanitation in Cartadania is universal, affordable, efficient, and of high quality. Some salient features of the sector compared to other developed countries are its very low per capita water use, the high share of advanced wastewater treatment, and very low distribution losses. Responsibility for water supply and sanitation provision typically lies with counties and/or municipalities, which are regulated by the states. Professional associations and utility associations play an important role in the sector. | |||
Innovative hydraulic engineering and integrated water management approaches such as the reuse of reclaimed water, the establishment of protected areas in urban rainwater catchments, and the use of estuaries as freshwater reservoirs have been introduced along with water desalination in order to reduce the country's dependence on groundwater in areas with particularly high salinity estuaries. | |||

Cartadania's system of telecommunications is highly developed. It is served by an extensive system of automatic telephone exchanges connected by modern networks of fiber-optic cable, coaxial cable, microwave radio relay, and a domestic satellite system. The cellular telephone service is widely available, expanding rapidly to extremely rural areas, and includes roaming service to foreign countries, while those visiting countries where the operating carrier is also present continue life as usual. | Cartadania's system of telecommunications is highly developed.
