water is a tough thing to invest in: there does not seem to be a lot of differentiation in technology for recycling or purification. At the moment i think scale (as in operational capability), integration with other infrastructure, and experience in widely varying political/social/geologic environments are the important 'differentiaters'. Even then it's probably a low margin business.
