Hi Jennifer: The focus on investemnt in desal and reuse is shifting towards forward osmosis, nano-strucutred membrane technologies and new energy recovery systems. Industrial water technologies are going in the opposite direction - they are focusisng on using dry-based production and phasing water out of the production process. The main growth of water technology is driven by municipal and agricultural water consumption, which are drven by population growth. Nikolay
