Water Investment

I'm at work so I didn't read real close but it sounds like a new stock system only for water.

Good thing bad thing it'll help but will it help only those with money?

Is this about helping or making money or both

Water programs are capital intensive. For them to produce returns on capital investment means people have to get charged up the wazoo to pay it back, or investors lose.

Kind of simple isn't it?

Not sure how this will benefit the end user...

I think the point of it is to work as a market mechanism to create an incentive to conserve water resources..

It will be like a 'water use' derivative.. likely corporation of a certain size and performing certain activities will be given an allocated water usage allowance, if they go under this allowance they can sell their excess and if they are over they have to buy extra credits..

This will make it so that it is financially prudent to use less water - presently the cheap cost of water means that it is cheaper to use heaps of water than invest in technologies that would save water..

This program aims to make it economically prudent to invest in water saving technologies.

Sure, some people will get rich, some will loose.. But I think the point is to make water valuable so that it isn't wasted.
