Introduction
Formed in 2006, the central objective of the Water Integrity Network (WIN) is to eradicate corruption in the water sector; asserting, 'the water crisis is a governance crisis with corruption at its core' [1]. Corruption is undoubtedly a problem in providing water, however it would be misleading to claim that corruption is the sole reason so many in the world do without water; there are other governance and structural factors at play.
Further, WIN appear to focus on corruption in the third world on a relatively minor scale. Little is written of previous corrupt activities by major multi-nationals in Europe as well as elsewhere in the industrialised west [2]. Moreover, little is mentioned of lobbying activities by major Trans-National Corporations and the revolving door between major water companies, politics and lobbying [3].
WIN are also ambiguous over private sector involvement. What is clear: focusing on state corruption and excluding corrupt activities by the private sector indicates a partial, rather than a full, analysis of corruption in the water sector.

The steering committee of WIN is made up of people from, or with connections to, private sector participation in the water sector.
