Tim,

You are very correct, imo. Water WILL BE the commodity of the next century. There was an article on the Washington Post on this issue last week. Canada has 20% of the worlds fresh water and conserves it like there is no tomorrow. Will not commit any of these reserves to the US. They know they are sitting on a gold mine (literally). I am a hydrogeologist (15 years of experience) and I work with groundwater day in and day out. I also live in the 3rd fastest growing county in the country (Loudoun Co. VA). Let me tell you - people are starting to wake up here - water supply is THE issue for the development debate.

Aside from my core business, though, I have not been able to pinpoint exactly how to capitalize on this fact - and believe me it is a FACT. Like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Maybe desalination companies will prosper. Are we going to be looking at water utilities / deregulation / consolidation - I don't know - I'm just a lowly geologist...
