As the world faces increasing water scarcity and challenges securing reliable water sources, there is a need for better investments in water infrastructure. According to the United Nations, 2 billion people worldwide cannot access safely managed drinking water services.
It’s clear that the growing demands placed on water resources are reaching new levels, fueled by the rise of AI and data centers, rapid population growth and the devastating impacts of climate change. While legislative action has begun remediation efforts to protect our water supply, providing a clear signal to investors that the water sector is an important area for future investments. However, there is significant concern about the possible future deregulation of water policies, including reduced protection of streams, wetlands, and pollution standards, which would move progress in water standards in the wrong direction.
