Description
Private Capital very often has a bad rap in the Water Sector. It is indeed hard for many to overcome the misconception that water has to be free. Yet if everyone is in his full rights to run around with a bucket and freely collect rainwater; sourcing, treating, conveying, managing, and reclaiming the water that feeds America and its economy has a cost and a (tremendous) value. So, how can private capital help solve the broken economics that makes for the Water Crisis in America?
Getting America’s broken water economics back on track is beyond the capacity of any of the economic sources individually. Hence, the solution will have to come from a blend of various sources.
Federal money, in line with the $111 Billion Infrastructure investment, but not limited to it as it barely covers one-fourth of the immediate funding needs, one-tenth for the long term.
Private-Public Partnerships to leverage the private sector’s capital and know-how together with the public sector’s frame.
Private investment in water, probably beyond today’s 15% ownership, and conditioned to the ability to become profitable as an economic field to guarantee long-term sustainability.
Philanthropic investments, blended with others, to build the perfect equilibrium that generates impact in the long run.
