  Where there isopportunity, there are challenges!The price of water does not reflect its scarce nature and ultimately betrays its value.Holistic water policies and regulatory structures that incentivize water efficiency or improved water productivity are slowly emerging.The water sector is currently a diffuse array of businesses including: Steel & concrete pipe manufacturers, specialty chemical producers, measurement, monitoring & testing firms, tank manufacturers, manufacturers representatives, Consultants and engineers and various other new technology developers, etc.Buyers of water related goods & services ranging across public and private sectors have very different needs!All of which make for a challenging investment environment!

  Describing water sectorwinnersSuccessful water services providers will migrate from selling equipment and components to selling solutions aimed at helping business customers reduce their water and energy use.Key Takeaways from 2009 Venture Investments in WaterEnergy water relationship heats up. Traditional ‘mousetrap’ technologies have been replaced by energy efficient treatment technologies that fundamentally aim to improve the productivity of water treatment and distribution.  Water reuse is another twist on the energy efficiency play. Reducing water conveyance has an energy component built into its purchase cost making another attractive energy efficiency twist for venture investors. To that end, alternative sources of water supply are top of mind for industries facing water risk exposure. Water analytics are the safe bet. As the saying goes, you cannot manage what you do not know. The water sector has a clear need for the collection and analysis of water data at both the industry and government levels. And water analytics are proving critical for businesses across all sectors and geographies.
