The water market in the USA

Whatever the state of the economy, Americans still need water. With a prolonged drought gripping California, and other parts of the country experiencing severe scarcity for the first time, investment in water is becoming a priority across the country. At the same time rising environmental concerns and tough action from the Environmental Protection Agency are ensuring that the expenditure on wastewater services cannot be avoided.

All this comes at a time when America’s municipal finances are being squeezed by falling rate bases and difficulties in the municipal bond market. It creates an opportunity for innovation.

What Water Market USA can do for you

Global Water Intelligence, in association with the New York Institute of Technology has undertaken a major research exercise to identify the opportunities in the US municipal market. The result is the most extensive American water and wastewater project list ever to be created, with more than 1,500 up-coming water and wastewater projects which have yet to be put out to bid.

The result is more than just an invaluable list of targets for your business development; it is also a unique snapshot of the future of America’s water infrastructure. Coupled with a financial analysis of the relevant utilities, it forms the basis of an informed forecast of the US market over the next decade.

Together with hard core market data and profiles of the major industry players, Water Market USA also includes a business documentary video on DVD which brings together the insight of more than 30 leading executives, analysts and experts on the water sector including Don Correll (American Water Works), Andy Seidel (Underground Solutions), Mike Stark (Basin Water), Floyd Wicks (American Water States Water Company), Debra Coy (Janney Montgomery Scott), and Larry Chertoff (Alinda Capital). Each interview is included in a multimedia business documentary, covering the four most important themes in the US water sector today:
