28/2/2008 08:25 | serotine - I just posted a brief comment on the MWG thread - the company website calendar says results are out tomorrow, not Monday as most guides show. | m.t.glass | |
28/2/2008 07:33 | MTG - lol. Too grim for me to invest in at moment! I suspect they have a good product but for me high quality management is the key to small companies and they haven't proved themselves yet. I'll keep an eye on it though. | serotine | |
28/2/2008 07:26 | Thanks serotine. Its share price chart is mighty grim but I will add it to a header list shortly. | m.t.glass | |
28/2/2008 03:02 | you can also add hk:1038 i'm long 1038 but not 1152 which is a tech investment company that took over a bunch of companies to get into the market 1038 is a quality player with its fingers in the most profitable pies. i'm convinced it will one of the biggest companies on the globe in the next decade | all eyez on me | |
27/2/2008 17:07 | Bluebelle. I agree. It is only this month that someone brought to my attention iH2o as a UK-listed tradeable instrument in the water sector. But that, like you say, is not pure water but is related to a basket of stocks which serve the water industry. Nevertheless, with demand for water itself increasing so strongly, I am assuming there will be stocks and indices that manage to reflect that in some way, and which people here might recommend. | m.t.glass | |
27/2/2008 16:39 | MT It seems to em that this is one of those instances - like most commodities before ETFS - where the PI can see the opportunity but has no means of investing in it. There are - it seems to me - very few (no pun intended) pure water plays in the area where growth is likely to be greatest and costs lowest partly because of the political sensitivities. I think we are more likely to see skirmishes if not wars over water in the next 20 years than we are over oil. | bluebelle | |

22/3/2007 17:05 | Special to Globe and Mail Update Across this country, people are more and more concerned about global warming. In marking World Water Day today, it is important to highlight how the global water crisis is contributing to the problem of climate change. The media coverage on climate change in Canada has focused almost exclusively on greenhouse-gas emissions, as have most politicians and commentators. While we do not want to underestimate the serious nature of these emissions, we wish to bring attention to another important cause of global warming: the global water crisis. The world is running out of water. Humans are polluting, depleting and diverting its finite freshwater supplies so quickly, we are creating massive new deserts and generating global warming from below. In many parts of the world, surface waters are too polluted for human use. Ninety per cent of waste water in the Third World is discharged untreated. Eighty per cent of China 's and 75 per cent of India 's surface waters are too polluted for drinking, fishing or even bathing. The story is the same in most of Africa and Latin America . Humans, using powerful new technology, are mining groundwater sources far faster than they can be replaced, creating drought in once-fertile areas. When water is taken from an aquifer to grow crops in the desert, another desert is created. A recent scientific report from Britain warned of "coming anarchy" in Asia as water is sucked out of the ground by untold millions of bore wells. Water is also massively displaced through the building of large dams, the main reason so many of the world's great rivers no longer reach the oceans. Around the world, a massive network of pipelines is being constructed to move water from place to place, similar to the pipeline network that moves oil and gas. Water is transferred - sometimes great distances - for flood irrigation that creates more deserts as it overtills topsoil, leaving it to blow away in the wind. Water is removed from rivers, wetlands and aquifers and ends up as sewage. Huge amounts of water are also displaced through the trade in "virtual water," where poor countries grow water-intensive crops for export to countries trying to conserve their water supplies. They are left with dead lakes and rivers. And urban sprawl is creating huge "heat islands" unable to absorb rain. The destruction of water-retentive landscapes means that less precipitation remains in river basins and continental watersheds; this in turn, equates to less water in the hydrologic cycle. In Canada , we have tended to ignore water problems, believing that we have plentiful supplies. But recent studies suggest otherwise, particularly in the Prairies, where water has been scarce at the best of times. Temperatures there have already warmed by 1 to 4 degrees Celsius, and are predicted to warm that much again by mid-century. Already, snowpacks and glaciers of the Rocky Mountains , the "water towers" of the Prairies, are dwindling, and increasing evaporation is stealing more water from lakes, rivers and soils as a result of warmer temperatures. One concern is for agriculture, because soil moisture is predicted to decrease over vast semi-arid areas of the Prairies, where crops are already limited by water supplies. This has resulted in a call by big agribusiness for more dams and reservoirs. Experience elsewhere shows that these are of questionable value if benefits and costs are weighed honestly. Daniel Beard, who recently retired as commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, said: "We reaped great benefits [from the many dam projects of the 20th century], but there were very great costs. For some, the jury is still out whether the benefits outweigh the costs. But for many the answer is simple: We have paid too dearly for 'cheap' power and water." Alberta, with its rapidly growing population and industry, is "ground zero" for water shortages in Canada . Already, the provincial government has declared a moratorium on new water licences for the Bow and Oldman Rivers, which recent studies show are vastly overused by irrigated agriculture and growing municipalities. Controversy has arisen over new proposals to divert water from the Red Deer River to support development in watersheds that have already outstripped their water supplies. Another concern is the vast water needs of the oil sands, which rely on water from the Athabasca, the only remaining free-flowing large river of the Prairie provinces . Approved developments are expected to take 11 per cent of winter low flows in the Athabasca in dry years. Climate warming and destruction of tributaries and wetlands in the Athabasca watershed undoubtedly make this a conservative estimate. Other parts of Canada should not be complacent. Decreasing levels on the Great Lakes are projected to cost billions of dollars in lost shipping. Dwindling inflows have aggravated the increasing pollution of many lakes with increasing nutrients from agricultural and urban sources, causing unprecedented nuisance blooms of algae. So far, water problems have been ignored by federal and provincial politicians, despite their posturing in the "greenest cloak" competition. Canadians should demand rapid action from their elected representatives to secure our freshwater supplies, protecting them from the ravages of climate warming, frivolous use, pollution and export to other countries. The security of our grandchildren's Canada depends on it. Maude Barlow is national chair of the Council of Canadians and author of the upcoming book Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and the Fight for the Right to Water. David Schindler holds the Killam Memorial Chair and is professor of ecology at the University of Alberta . | energyi | |
24/7/2006 23:09 | LOL ! Don't forget the water co's that lose 1/3 of water in burst pipes yet still make millions. Does this not mean that we are paying AT LEAST 1/3 TOO MUCH for our water ? It's sad to say, but the second I have enough, I'm outta here.........the UK that is. On second thoughts, no it's not sad to say, I can't wait, Oz is looking good to me.......... | mr homer j simpson | |
21/7/2006 16:09 | Mr HJS .... perhaps a remake of "The Corporation" can be remade as "The Blair Water Project" - but only if the remake is approved by Mr.Bush. | don muang | |
21/7/2006 16:07 | looks like it's been a long running story .... | don muang | |
30/5/2006 23:27 | Go and rent the film "The Corporation" from Blockbuster. It's very interesting. The World Bank once lent money to a water co that then took over the rights to ALL water, even rain ! Yes, there have been wars over water, and no doubt there will be more....... | mr homer j simpson | |
05/3/2006 17:29 | Interesting article, and a lot of facts n figures. Not often you can own such a reusable commodity! I've read there are ETF's setup to profit from this sort of thing, are there any other instruments? Will there ever be a water futures market?!!? | gazza0802 | |
18/9/2005 21:34 | 18 September 2005 22:27 Home > News > Business > Business News UK plays host to firm behind the first water-powered car By Tim Webb Published: 18 September 2005 A business planning to develop the world's first water-powered car will launch in the UK later this week. Commercial trials of the cheap, clean-fuel technology, which separates hydrogen from water, could begin in a year's time. Some larger vehicles such as buses are already powered by hydrogen, but it is expensive and dangerous to distribute large amounts of hydrogen as fuel. The "Electro Hydrogen Generator" is being developed by OM Energy and, once fitted inside a car, would extract the hydrogen from water and mix it with petrol. Should the new technology, the first of its kind, prove successful, vehicles would use water as the main fuel supply and need only a small amount of petrol. The generator works by spinning the water very quickly, creating an electro-magnetic field which splits the hydrogen from the oxygen. Current methods of separating hydrogen, using fossil fuels or electrolysis, release harmful emissions into the environment. The technology also has other applications, such as powering ships. Dr Fulcieri Maltini, an independent consultant who has reviewed the technology, said: "It's a completely novel way to produce hydrogen." Car manufacturers are trying to develop new technologies, such as fuel cells or "hybrid" cars with batteries, which are more efficient and environmentally friendly than petrol or diesel. But manufacturers are divided over which works best. OM Energy is a Russian venture but UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), an arm of the Government, has persuaded it to domicile in the UK by attracting funding from international institutional investors and individuals. UKTI runs the Global Entrepreneurs Programme to attract overseas investment to the UK. OM Energy has already applied for a patent for the technology. If it succeeds, the Government will take a proportion of any sales. A business planning to develop the world's first water-powered car will launch in the UK later this week.
