A detailed look at the water industry and the trends that can
lead to investment opportunities

Water has quickly grown into a big global business, with annual
revenues in the United States alone reaching over $200 billion. In
the years ahead, companies as well as governments must find
innovative ways to address important issues within this field
without sacrificing basic needs, such as safety of drinking water
or the reliability of water for energy production. Nobody
understands this better than author Neil Grigg, a forty-year
veteran of the water industry, and now, with Water Finance,
he shares his extensive experience with you.

Most of the water business operates under the radar, but with
this reliable resource, Grigg shines a bright light on this
essential area and offers comprehensive coverage of the public
responsibilities and private opportunities associated with it.
While Water Finance does contain many facts and figures, it
also takes the time to pull together the various aspects of water,
going far beyond water as just a commodity, to skillfully explain
it as the integrated business that it is.
