Do We Take Water for Granted? [view article]
As is the status quo in our pandering pro-business United States Government Representatives zero preventative measures will be implemented and we the people will experience yet another horrific crisis of magnitude--even more horrific than the present energy crisis. We just cannot seem to grasp the concept of non-finite natural resources! Replygordon

Do We Take Water for Granted? [view article]
If history is any indicator of the future, acting on our water shortage will be similar to our acting on our fossil fuel energy/enviroment problems. Not much will happen until we are in crisis mode.That said, I hold a position in WTR and other such utilities. Most of these have been taken down in price during the past six months and present decent entry points. Reply

Richard put his finger on the future for water:the need for progressive breakthroughs in the development of membrane technology in the desalinization process + running those plants on alternative energy. There are several companies, like Consolidated Water, that have already shown this to be a magnificent opportunity! ReplyWater Investments: Staying on Land - For Now [view article]
Stuart,Good points about water shortage issues.
The World Bank warns of "catastrophic consequences" if water use and supply are not brought into balance.
They say that worldwide we are "mining water" by pumping more water out of the ground than is being replenished -- and that once our pumping depletes the aquifers our pumping will be limited to the recharge rate (no statement about ability of desalinization to make up the difference, I suspect it can't keep up).
The impact of a future physical limits reducing water pumping rates would have direct impact on food production levels and related social unrest.
Apparently, even fossil aquifers (water trapped in geologic formations for which there is no replenishment) are being pumped in some cases.
Rivers are being diverted upstream to various uses, which causes conflicts with downstream users. Water wars are local now, but could enlarge to be between countries in the future.
About 70% of world water use is for irrigation, about 20% for industry and about 10% for residential use.
The world needs more efficient methods (such as drip irrigation instead of surface water irrigation, and recycling of industrial waste water for industrial reuse). The world also needs more desalinization capabilities.
As water shortages become more evident, there should be an increasing number of investment opportunities to benefit financially from those companies that will help solve the problem.
Utilities may not be the best option, but those technology companies that create solutions for greater water efficiency or the creation of more water supply from the oceans may be good opportunities.

Is this a buy or a sell? ReplyShareholder Freebies: A Thing of the Past? [view article]
For McDonalds, no you don't have to show up for the meeting. You just have to be a shareholder and NOT elect electronic transmission of the annual report (i.e. you have to make sure you receive printed copies of the annual report). Same with Boston Beer Co, and California Water Service Group. ReplyShareholder Freebies: A Thing of the Past? [view article]
between page 12 and 13 of the annual report. The company probably places it there to see how many people actually read the report.Hahah...
good idea...although I'm still waiting for my free coffee! Do you actually have to show up in person to the meetings to get anything? That's more than the MCD salad would cost - innit?
And then there's no substitute for instant gratification...

Millipore does not do any business in industrial water filtration. The company provides small scale water purification products for use in the laboratory and scientifc research, but does not belong in the ZWI index given its business focus. Its lab water focus is signficantly different than what the ZWI Index is intended to represent.Sincerely,

I tried to make the list as close to pure plays as possible but UU is still a good suggestion. When I do an update to the list, I will include it. ReplyA Quick Guide To Water Utility Stocks [view article]
What, no UU? Granted, not a pure water play ... ReplyLipworth

Khaleel - yes it is true that a lot of companies in PHO are not directly involved in water, but some of these either provide products or services to businesses that are involved directly. If you know of other ETF's that cover "water", I would love to hear about them. Reply
