As a key natural resource, water plays a major role in industries across the economy as well as being essential to support life. However, it is predicted that by 2050, 52% of the world’s population will live in water-stressed areas. Balancing demand between agriculture, fisheries, industrial activities and personal use can become more difficult in areas of rising population and/or climatic changes.
Developing a sustainable water strategy is a complex and difficult challenge, but there are already a growing number of investment opportunities in technologies providing sustainable alternatives to water-intensive materials and processes.
