Did you know?
Clean water scarcity is one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century: the United Nations estimates that by 2025, two-thirds of the world's population could live under water-stressed conditions. The water infrastructure investment gap in the US alone runs to hundreds of billions of dollars, as pipes, treatment facilities, and distribution networks installed in the mid-20th century reach the end of their useful lives. Unlike most commodities, water cannot be substituted — making water infrastructure and treatment technology companies uniquely resilient businesses with captive customer bases.
