- W2000565565 abstract "The growing scarcity of water has a silver lining: water is being transformed into an economic resource whose price will better reflect its true value and thus encourage conservation and stimulate new supplies. This in turn can be expected to put more pressure on water and wastewater organizations to become both commercially and environmentally sustainable. And by making its decision-making more consistent with economic criteria, the U.S. water industry will be in a better position to address its four major challenges: insufficient capital; industry fragmentation; paucity of innovations; and lack of environmental sustainability. The EPA estimates that maintenance and upgrades of public water systems will require over $344 billion in investment over the next 20 years. The good news, however, is that institutional investors have found major long-term investment opportunities in water and wastewater infrastructure in the U.K., and have also established a small toehold in the U.S. Focused on increasing the value of the assets they purchase, such active investors can be expected to bring investment discipline as well as capital to water utilities. A more rational approach to the industry's economics will facilitate consolidation of what is a highly fragmented industry, thereby reducing service costs and increasing access to capital, which is badly needed by small U.S. community systems. Contributing further to cost reductions and increased access to capital, a vibrant and commercially oriented industry should also spawn valuable innovation. Finally, more accountable and well-governed water organizations can become natural leaders in achieving environmental sustainability by ensuring that water is priced to reflect its true costs and that water resources are conserved for the future." @default.
