The study performed by Deloitte explores the future of the global water sector in 2012. “Water tight 2012” examines how major global trends such as population growth, increasing economic development and urbanization coupled with the changes in climate patterns underscore the importance of effective public policy and private sector water stewardship in managing this finite and shared resource.

The main topics discussed are:

  1. Growing demand for a finite resource: The future is not bright
  2. Climate change: A volatile future
  3. Managing demand: The era of cheap water is over
  4. Managing demand: The water and energy nexus
  5. Increasing supply: Technology in the driving seat
  6. Sources of funding: Going private
  7. Water as the next ‘hot’ commodity: Has its turn come?
  8. Water stewardship: The way forward
