I love the world and work of the water entrepreneur. Fort Worth-based Bosque Systems is a great example of the new water world of reclaim, recycle, and reuse. As the Dallas Morning News pointed out today, in places like the Eagle Ford and Permian Basin, 10 to 20% of water for fracking now comes from recycling. This number is expected to double over the next decade. That is a whole lot of opportunities for the budding water entrepreneurs of the world. Supply and demand are on your side. Groundwater levels around San Antonio have fallen 70-feet and water prices tripling in New Mexico - - you have to love the basic operating economics of the water entrepreneur.
Look into the mirror Mr. or Ms. Water Utility Operator - - your "wastewater" is just plan old water. You are a water entrepreneur. You are in a buyers market and supply is rapidly constraining. Demand is headed up and supply is headed down. The slope of the water supply curve is changing - the world of a flat supply curve is rapidly becoming steeper. Welcome to the world of water entrepreneurship!
