Solving the world's water problems is proving to be one of the
greatest investment opportunities of our time. Already, world water
supplies are inadequate to meet demand, and the problem is going to
get much worse in the years ahead. The World Bank estimates that
1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and about 50
percent of the world's hospital beds are populated by people who
have contracted water-borne diseases. If present consumption rates
continue, in 25 years the world will be using 90 percent of all
available freshwater. To address the problem, trillions of dollars
will need to be invested in water infrastructure projects. And
while the problems are most acute in developing and rapidly growing
economies, there are huge water infrastructure needs in
industrialized countries, as well. In the U.S. alone, it's
estimated that more than $1 trillion will be needed for water and
wastewater infrastructure projects. In Planet Water, water
investment expert Steven Hoffmann explains the dynamics driving the
water crisis and identifies investment opportunities in various
sectors of the water industry. Hoffman provides investors with the
knowledge and insights they need to make informed investments in
water utilities, as well as companies providing water treatment
services; infrastructure services; water monitoring and analytics;
and desalination services. He also discusses mutual funds and ETFs
that specialize in water stocks. Investing in the water industry is
certainly no pie-in-the-sky idea. Over the past five years, many
water stocks have exploded in value and water stocks as a whole
have outperformed the S&P 500 by a substantial amount. In
Planet Water, Hoffmann provides investors with everything they need
to profit from this fast-growing industry in the years ahead.
