Water could be anecdotal in an investment strategy. After all, as a sector, it weights less than 1% of the World's GDP. So, at first sight, it sounds like a topic for the most convinced impact investors.

Yet, on the second look, water is on the critical path for many other sectors. Indeed, which industry can boast of being able to run without water? Which building can deem to be entirely safe from any flooding or extreme climate event? And that still totally skips all the sectors that rely on water's quality for their finished good. 

All of a sudden, water becomes much less anecdotal: it rather becomes a direct and indirect economic risk. And this turns it, as a matter of fact, into an interesting field to investigate, for investors, analysts, and asset managers. 

Now, if we look at the other side of the coin, there's a great opportunity for the water industry to understand the implications of that economic story. That's what differentiates between water and wastewater treatment being as a cost to be in business and the same players being solution providers that secure a sector's future.
