The World's Water - Fidelity Investments: Thinking Big
It takes 635 gallons of water to make one hamburger, and we see opportunity. In this video from http://go.fidelity.com/ThinkBig about the world's water, Fidelity analyst Anna Davydova explains why.
The need for clean fresh water is increasing rapidly, as populations rise and standards of living improve around the world. In some places -- such as central California, the North China Plains, and parts of India -- the demand for water is already outstripping the local supply.
Because global water consumption is expected to increase rapidly over the next 20 years, water shortages may get more acute and more widespread, spurring more investments in desalination technologies, water reuse, and conservation. The results could have massive economic, ecological, and geopolitical consequences, creating investing opportunities in places you may never have considered.
