🌳 How planting indigenous Amazon trees creates water corridors and helps farmers comply with Brazil's 20% reforestation law while fighting invasive grass species

💧 Why Guatemala's private water company extracts from 1,200 feet deep because the first 600 feet are too polluted, and how they provide 30% of the municipality's water supply

🏛️ How Mexico's sinking cathedral reveals groundwater overextraction challenges, while 70-80% of water goes to flood irrigation agriculture

💰 Why the poorest communities pay $100/month for water while middle-class pays $40, and how lack of trust in tap water quality drives bottled water spending

📊 How smart irrigation technology and real-time soil moisture monitoring can save millions of cubic meters by reducing just one flood irrigation event per crop cycle

Why do we choose expensive over affordable in Water? Let's use the Permian Basin's example to make a point: wastewater reuse is the way!

🙋 QUESTION: What would you like me to cover next?

📝 IN THIS WEEK'S EPISODE

💰 How the Permian Basin produces 3.5 million cubic meters of water daily but only reuses 25% - and why the math actually favors reuse at $8.22 vs $9.55 per barrel

🏜️ Why oil fields in America's driest regions dispose of enough water to fill 1,400 swimming pools daily instead of reusing it in desert conditions

⚖️ The complex economics behind water reuse decisions involving treatment costs, transport expenses, mineral recovery opportunities, and earthquake liability insurance

🔬 How produced water contains valuable minerals like lithium (30 ppm) and magnesium (1000 ppm) that could generate 40 cents per barrel in additional revenue

🏭 Why data centers and industrial cooling operations in the Permian create new markets for treated produced water

📝 IN THIS WEEK'S EPISODE

🔬 How a 10-year journey from CNRS research director to water tech entrepreneur led to a breakthrough that counts microorganisms 4-7x faster than century-old Petri dish methods

🚀 Why this technology delivers results in 6 hours for E. coli instead of 24 hours and 2 days for Legionella instead of 10 days, while maintaining exact regulatory compliance

💡 The secret sauce combining optics, click chemistry (Nobel Prize 2022), and machine learning that makes invisible microbes visible and countable at the micro-colony stage

🏭 How major pharmaceutical and beverage companies are knocking on Diamidex's door, with one global partnership launching end of 2024 and acquisition talks already underway

💰 The razor-blade business model targeting 75-80% recurring revenue from consumables, with equipment potentially given free to high-volume customers, generating €500K annually

Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

I analyzed 139 publicly traded water companies and discovered a simple formula that predicts their valuations using just three parameters: position on the "boring-to-hype spectrum," percentage of digital revenue, and percentage of recurring revenue. This formula reveals systematic market mispricing that creates 8-25% annual return opportunities by exploiting Wall Street's ignorance of water industry fundamentals. Wanna find out? Listen to this!

In this week's episode:
After analyzing 139 publicly traded water companies and uncovering systematic market mispricing, this water engineer reveals seven data-driven insights showing how water stocks trade at a 12% discount to the S&P 500 despite their defensive characteristics, with Asian companies undervalued by 50% and digital transformation creating 65% valuation premiums. The research exposes three investment strategies ranging from conservative "boring money" portfolios to aggressive geographic arbitrage plays that could potentially deliver 8-25% annual returns by exploiting Wall Street's lack of water industry expertise.
