All this media coverage on the water crisis benefits companies like STWS that are in the water sector. There are already WATER ETF's focused on this industry-- http://etfdb.com/type/sector/industrials/water/.

I for one would not be surprised to see STWS included in one of these ETF once it gets to a higher exchange.
There will be more investors considering including "water stocks" such as STW Resources (OTCQB:STWS) in their diversified portfolio. But that is just my opinion

California farmers plan to sell water instead of crops because they can get more money for it

by Rob Wile

California is now in its fourth year of drought, but it’s not completely out of water yet. Or at least, not all of it is.
While reservoirs in the southern part of the state, along with its central valley, have been heavily depleted, northern reservoirs are down somewhat from historical averages but remain relatively robust.
As a result, the north’s rice farmers find themselves with an odd position. They can plant more rice—or they could skip that part and just sell their irrigation water to hard-up neighbors in the south. The way the math has been working out lately, the state could see a noticeable dip in rice production this year.
