Nice article by the Frost & Sullivan research service. Like the Billionaire T. Boone Pickens has been saying, Water is the next oil. GLTA.



"Recycling and Reuse Systems Markets

I enclose details of our U.S. Water Recycling and Reuse Systems Markets Report.

This Frost & Sullivan research service titled U.S. Water Recycling and Reuse Systems Market provides the drivers, restraints, and market trends that are impacting this market. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following technologies: activated carbon systems, media filtration systems, and membrane systems.

Population Increase and Freshwater Demand Drive the Water Recycling and Reuse Market

Water recycling and reuse is gaining popularity in the United States due to the growing demand for water in industries and municipal applications like agricultural irrigation, lawn watering, and other non-potable applications. Increase in population and the growing economy are further putting enormous strain on the existing freshwater resources. Water reuse and recycling, which helps augment existing water resources to cope with the demand for freshwater, provides a solution for sustainable water management. There are several technologies, which are currently available for treating wastewater for reuse or recycling.

Stringent federal wastewater discharge regulations are also driving water recycling and reuse in the United States. The absence of federal standards for water reuse has forced the states to establish their own standards. California and Florida are leading the nation in recycling and reusing water. Some of the other southern states such as Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and Nevada also have water reuse programs. "The opportunities for water reuse are tremendous and the states are realizing its potential benefits," notes the analyst of this research service. "The rising cost of water, which is a direct effect of the current water shortage, coupled with tighter environmental regulations, offers good market opportunities for existing and emerging participants."
