"The global water industry is massive and filled with opportunity for innovation, but it’s also sprawling, fragmented and buried under layers of government bureaucracy, industry expert Tom Ferguson says. While some estimates place the total value of water-based enterprises, including those meant to address climate change, at $500 billion worldwide, the market hasn’t advanced at the same pace as adjacent industries such as green energy."
