Agriculture and Water; How New Concepts In Agriculture from Aquamer (OTCBB: AQUM) (DBA/ Urban Agricultural Corp.) offer Water Solutions

"Agriculture is the largest consumer of freshwater by far - about 70% of all freshwater withdrawals go to irrigated agriculture"- WorldWaterWeek.org





August 27, 2010 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within www.Investorideas.com, reports on the relationship of water and agriculture and how new concepts in urban agriculture can improve efficiencies. With agriculture as the current leading consumer of freshwater, new approaches to agriculture from companies like Aquamer Medical Corp. (OTCBB: AQUM) (DBA/ Urban Agricultural Corp.)offer better water use solutions.



Environmental and Water Benefits



Cleaner Water

The Urban Agricultural system reduces the nutrient pollution associated with chemical fertilizers used on commercial farms. Of the 19% of U.S. rivers and streams assessed by EPA in 2000, roughly 48% (or over 125,000 miles) showed impaired water quality as the result of pollution from agricultural runoff (fertilizers, pesticides, bacteria, etc.). This impact is more than double that of any other source of water pollution.



Water Conservation

Hydroponics production uses three to four times less water per unit of production than field-agriculture. Urban Agricultural's closed-loop irrigation systems lead to even greater water savings.



Minimal Wastewater

The watering injection system recycles water and generates little or no wastewater. Wastewater is one of the most significant environmental costs associated with traditional methods of hydroponics.

Water Statistics from WorldWaterWeek.org

Food, Agriculture

oAgriculture is the largest consumer of freshwater by far - about 70% of all freshwater withdrawals go to irrigated agriculture.

oToday, irrigated agriculture covers 275 million hectares - about 20% of cultivated land - and accounts for 40% of global food production.

oo777 million people in developing countries do not have access to sufficient and adequate food.

oFeeding everyone in 2050 - including the undernourished and additional 3 billion people expected - could require 50 % more water than is needed now. [23]

oReducing food wastage by 50% - including post-harvest losses, losses in transport and handling, and losses in the household - might vastly reduce or even negate the need for additional water to grow more food, which will ensure sufficient water is available for food in the future.

oBased on today's water productivity and a projected diet of 3000 kcal/day, an additional 5600 km3/year of water needs to be appropriated by 2050 to eradicate undernutrition and feed an additional 3 billion world inhabitants. This is almost three times as much as the present global consumptive water use in irrigation.

ooAs irrigation systems come under pressure to produce more with less water, there is a danger that unequal rights and entitlements will widen inequalities.

oFor some countries, climate change may lead to an increase in food production, as in North America and Europe, where high gains are projected.]

oFor the 40 poorest countries, with a total population of some 1-3 billion, climate change may lead them to lose on average up to a fifth of their cereal production potential in the 2080s.

oAs many as 40 % of the Sub-Saharan countries could lose a substantial part of their agricultural production due to climate change.

Investorideas.com - Water Stocks; Q&A Interview with Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX); Offering Water and Wastewater Solutions for Municipalities, Developers and Small System Owners


Visit this company: www.middlesexwater.com

August 27, 2010 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, presents an interview with Mr. Dennis W. Doll , Chairman, President and CEO of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX), a provider of water, wastewater and related services, primarily in New Jersey and Delaware. Organized in 1897, the Company provides regulated and unregulated water and wastewater utility services through various subsidiary companies.



Water-Stocks.com Interview with Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Chairman, President and CEO ofMiddlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)

Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
Dennis, in today's environment of climate change, rising population, outdated infrastructure, water efficiencies are more important than ever. How does Middlesex Water address its client needs for water and wastewater efficiency, cost reductions and still meet the required service demands?

A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Chairman, President and CEO of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
Today's water and wastewater challenges more than ever require sound technical and financial solutions to meet the increasing national problem of aging infrastructure while maintaiing quality service. Our company has the team, the tools and the talent to address any number of service needs. Across the country, these challenges grow more real every day, and as our reputation as a leading provider continues to expand beyond our existing service areas, we are seeing greater opportunity to help current and prospective clients find greater operational efficiencies, greater transparency about the operations and finances of their systems and assist with improvements to enhance service to customers.

Educating customers about the wise use of water and the importance of detecting household leaks is paramount in our business because it not only helps our customers to better control costs, but also helps to preserve a precious resource for future generations. As an EPA Water Sense partner, we are committed to promoting efficiency in water consumption and do so through the availability of WaterSense labeled products through our website. Equally important is our ongoing commitment to prudently investing in our water mains, treatment plants and other facilities so that capacity is in place to accommodate desired growth, and infrastructure can support current and future customer demands for reliable and affordable water and wastewater service.

Our unique suite of services enables us to address issues of capacity, outdated infrastructure and operational inefficiencies on both the water and the wastewater side. An excellent case study is our partnership with the Town of Milton, DE. Upon acquiring the Town's wastewater treatment plant and related facilities in 2007 through our subsidiary, Tidewater Environmental Services, Inc., it was assumed we would need to decommission the 47 year-old plant relatively soon and construct a new plant to meet capacity, infrastructure and related service challenges existing at that time. After implementing various aspects of our asset management program, we determined that by investing approximately $700,000 in the plant we could meet the capacity and other service needs for a significantly longer period of time than originally anticipated. This approach has resulted in maintaining the high quality of service our customers expect, extending the life of the existing plant and providing room for a reasonable level of growth, all in a cost-effective manner. We were honored to have the Governor of Delaware tour this facility in August 2010, where he acknowledged our company's operational excellence and credited our partnership with the Town of Milton for helping protect the environment and the residents' quality of life all while contributing to economic development in the area. So across all of our companies, we are working to continually enhance our business processes and implement high quality technology that drives reductions in costs while improving service. All of these approaches are important factors in our ability to meet increasing customer expectations and to deliver our growth strategy.

Q- Dawn Van Zant at Wate
r-stocks.com
I have read reports that water consumption is expected to increase by 40% by 2025; what kind of opportunities and obstacles does that represent for companies like Middlesex?

A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Chairman, President and CEO of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
There are only a limited number of systems managed by investor-owned companies, but entities like us can play a critical role in helping local government meet water and wastewater challenges associated with sufficient supplies. As a company operating since 1897, if there's one thing we've learned it's that the demand for clean, safe drinking water will always be present and in fact, the lack of these supplies in some parts of the world has reached crisis levels. But the availability of ample water supplies to support heightened demand is best addressed with careful engineering planning and analysis decades before. Even where adequate supplies of quality drinking water are available, it also requires diligent management of water transmission and distribution assets to ensure the underground network of pipes, valves, hydrants, etc. can adequately support customer demand. The affordability and availability of more water and energy efficient products may over time affect how customers use water and how much they use -- but water will always be an element that is essential to human life. We need to continue working to educate the public, as well as the public sector, about the roles our company and the rest of the investor-owned utility industry can play in preserving our resources and meeting the present and future service needs.


Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
Your company currently provides water and wastewater services in New Jersey and Delaware --- from Water Production, Treatment and Distribution to Wastewater Collection and Treatment and Water and Wastewater System Maintenance – what areas within your services represents the biggest growth markets?


A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Chairman, President and CEO of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
As municipally owned utilities work to face challenges of shrinking budgets, an aging workforce and ever increasing state and federal regulations, the continued privatization of government-owned facilities is one example of an opportunity for our company. We have experience working with county and local governments in such partnerships and we have an extremely talented workforce that can offer the right technical solutions. A related growth area includes contract operations for those entities that are not prepared to effect an outright sale of assets, yet need additional professional expertise to provide the operations know-how. The pace of our growth from acquisitions, privatizations, new residential and commercial construction and other complementary products and services is largely dependent on several key factors. Our national and local economies, the specific service and infrastructure needs of local communities, ever-improving technology and environmentally-sensitive approaches are all factors in some form in our growth profile.


Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
The company just reported revenue for the quarter rose from $23.1 million to $26.5 million on higher demand; do you see this trend continuing moving forward?


A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Chairman, President and CEO of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
Given the seasonal nature of our business, weather is a significant driver of customer demand. We expect that demand, as well as the many growth opportunities we are exploring, will serve as key drivers of revenue growth moving forward.

Wringing oil from water is in the mixWescorp Energy touts technology's offshore potentialBy Dave Cooper, Edmonton Journal August 25, 2010 9:03 AM
Excerpt
EDMONTON - "I just tell them to bring it on, bring me whatever you have," says Joel Duhaime as he awaits another tanker truck load of oily waste to put through Wescorp Energy's novel water separator being field-tested near New Sarepta.
"We are really challenging this technology to see what it can do in a day-to-day operation. We are taking loads that range in temperature from 30C to 70C with up to 40 per cent oil," the technologist said.
In Wescorp's system called H20maxx, tiny bubbles of nitrogen gas -- ranging from one micron down to a microscopic-nano-size -- lift oil droplets to the surface of a holding tank that can then be skimmed off.

Water Stocks; Investing In Water –Why it has never been more Imperative

Water Stocks; Investing In Water –Why it has never been more Imperative

“ In 2030, 47% of world population will be living in areas of high water stress”


August 19, 2010 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, reports on recent news and developments in the water sector. Additionally worldwaterweek.org reports, prior to this years upcoming conference in September, on global water stats, evidencing why investing in the sector has never been more imperative.

Water Statistics from WorldWaterWeek.org
Water Resources and Scarcity

•Of all water on earth, 97 % is salt water, and of the remaining 3 % fresh water, some 70% is frozen in the polar icecaps. The other 30% is mostly present as soil moisture or lies in underground aquifers.

•Less than 1% of the world's fresh water is readily accessible for direct human uses.

•Global water use: Agriculture 70 %, Industry 22 %, Domestic use 8 %.

•A child born in the developed world consumes 30 to 50 times as much water as one in the developing world.

•With rapid population growth, water withdrawals have tripled over the last 50 years.

•An estimated 90% of the 3 billion people who are expected to be added to the population by 2050 will be in developing countries, many in regions already in water stress where the current population does not have sustainable access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation.

•The 10 largest water users (in volume) are India, China, the United States, Pakistan, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Mexico and the Russian Federation.

•The world’s water crisis is not related to the physical availability of water, but to unbalanced power relations, poverty and related inequalities.

•Water scarcity can roughly be divided into two categories: “Apparent” scarcity exists when there is plenty of water, but is inefficiently and wastefully used; “real” scarcity is caused by insuffient rain-fall or large populations depending on a limited resource.

•About 1.4 billion people, mostly impoverished, live in river basins where all the blue water is already committed or overcommitted.

•Around 20% of total water used globally is from groundwater sources (renewable or not), and this share is rising rapidly, particularly in dry areas.

•Water withdrawals are predicted to increase by 50 percent by 2025 in developing countries, and 18 per cent in developed countries.

•In 2030, 47% of world population will be living in areas of high water stress.

•By 2075, the number of people in regions with chronic water shortage is estimated to be between 3 and 7 billion.

•By 2030 the number of urban dwellers is expected to be about 1.8 billion more than in 2005 and to constitute about 60% of the world’s population. As the urban population increases, many major cities have had to draw freshwater from increasingly distant watersheds, as local surface and groundwater sources no longer meet the demand for water, or as they become depleted or polluted.

•A nation’s water foot print is defined as the total volume of freshwater, both green and blue, that is used to produce the goods and services consumed by the people of the nation, i.e. both food and other goods and services.
