Water is essential to live, so, even if you could buy land with proven reserves, the state would ultimately confiscate your property or change the laws "for the good sake of mankind".
I have been searching for years.
Ten years ago, I could have bought land with water by the hectares.
One of the strongest water supplier is SUEZ, active all over the World, Nyse: SZE
But they also are implied in natural gas and on the verge of merging with Gaz de France, which I don't see as productive fresh water, only economies of scale in European gas distribution. Gas is not water. Hence, scrap that one.
If, ever, Suez was to spinn-off the water operations, buy with both hands.
One should indentify companies which would work the same way explorers do.
IMHO, utilities are not the place to be: I am not interested in financing old pipes in the ground or paying high wages to technocrats planning to replace old lead ducts by "more healthy" new fabrics.
Water, as a commodity, properties strong enough to not be confiscated, that is the place to be IMO.
Found none. <ng>
You always could buy Halliburton, if Cheney was to live forever and remain, forever, VP of the USA. |
