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.

VERO WATER REFINES HYDRATION WITH ECO-FRIENDLY LUXURY WATER
VERO WATER REFINES HYDRATION WITH ECO-FRIENDLY LUXURY WATER
Bottling system improves water quality, sustainability for leading restaurants and hotels
Miami, FL – Vero Water, a Miami-based pure water resource corporation owned by entrepreneur and CEO Joshua Kunis, announces the national launch of its exclusive seven-step water refining system designed to offer high-end restaurants and hotels eco-friendly, ultra-purified and made-to-order still and sparkling water with zero carbon footprint.
As green initiatives continue to gain traction in the hospitality industry, many restaurateurs and hoteliers are having to make compromises on luxuries to help build an environmentally friendly brand. One of these concessions includes making a change from offering patrons premium bottled water to filtered tap water. This method reduces the amount of energy used to create a bottle of water and ship it from Europe to the United States, resulting in little to no carbon footprint, reduction of waste, boosting the restaurant’s environmental credibility and saving costs. However, if using inadequate filtration systems, the essential health benefits of pure water are completely nonexistent and sometimes reversed. Some filtration systems actually increase the amount of lead in water, which can not only negatively affect almost every system in the body, but also has the most effects on infants and children.
Vero Water offers both the purest water available by scientific standards and a system that creates the water on-site with zero carbon footprint. The system utilizes an innovative, seven-step reverse osmosis water purification technique to produce laboratory-grade still and sparkling water for high-end restaurants and hotels within seconds. Vero Water’s intricate purifying approach protects consumers from the harmful effects of lead, heavy metals, chlorine, chemical contaminants, pesticides, pathogens, bacteria, virus and even radioactive materials to reveal odorless water that is significantly purer and fresher than premium bottled waters. The water is passed through an absolute sediment filter to remove all present dissolved solids followed by two granular activated carbon filters – the highest-rated and most powerful absorbent of impurities. A semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane then strains and rejects any contaminants that are too large to pass through the membrane’s microscopic pores. The water is passed through a final coconut shell post-carbon filter that polishes the water by removing any unpleasant tastes or odors before being received from the ambient, rapid chiller and carbon dioxide filtering canisters.
Vero Water also allows clients to go green for less green by eliminating the cost of goods for bottled still and sparking water. The systems are paired with Italian-designed, re-usable glass bottles - which can also be branded by the individual businesses - to encourage ecological initiatives and avoid the overwhelming waste of plastic bottles.
“Restaurants no longer have to make a choice between going green and serving premium still and sparkling water,” says founder Joshua Kunis. “We use the most advanced technology to produce, by objective scientific standards, the purest possible water. While older systems provide the same function of a Brita of simply filtering water, we capture the contaminants in the water and drain it completely to reveal absolutely pure water. In Italian, vero means “true” and “authentic,” which is what we deliver to our clients: true, authentic pure water.”
Vero Water uses the most advanced technology in creating the freshest, ultra-pure luxury water available to restaurants and hotels with zero carbon footprint. All system parts are made in the USA, resulting in a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to bottled water. Vero Water can be tasted in high-end restaurants and hotels nationwide including Sra. Martinez, Shula's, Fratelli Lyon, OLA, D Rodriguez, Matteo’s, Prime Grill, Brasserie Mason, La Gorge Country Club, Sheraton Four Points, Holiday Inn, Roger Smith Hotel, The Tides, Pacific Palms Resort, and more.

Bottling system improves water quality, sustainability for leading restaurants and hotels
Miami, FL – Vero Water, a Miami-based pure water resource corporation owned by entrepreneur and CEO Joshua Kunis, announces the national launch of its exclusive seven-step water refining system designed to offer high-end restaurants and hotels eco-friendly, ultra-purified and made-to-order still and sparkling water with zero carbon footprint.
As green initiatives continue to gain traction in the hospitality industry, many restaurateurs and hoteliers are having to make compromises on luxuries to help build an environmentally friendly brand. One of these concessions includes making a change from offering patrons premium bottled water to filtered tap water. This method reduces the amount of energy used to create a bottle of water and ship it from Europe to the United States, resulting in little to no carbon footprint, reduction of waste, boosting the restaurant’s environmental credibility and saving costs. However, if using inadequate filtration systems, the essential health benefits of pure water are completely nonexistent and sometimes reversed. Some filtration systems actually increase the amount of lead in water, which can not only negatively affect almost every system in the body, but also has the most effects on infants and children.
Vero Water offers both the purest water available by scientific standards and a system that creates the water on-site with zero carbon footprint. The system utilizes an innovative, seven-step reverse osmosis water purification technique to produce laboratory-grade still and sparkling water for high-end restaurants and hotels within seconds. Vero Water’s intricate purifying approach protects consumers from the harmful effects of lead, heavy metals, chlorine, chemical contaminants, pesticides, pathogens, bacteria, virus and even radioactive materials to reveal odorless water that is significantly purer and fresher than premium bottled waters. The water is passed through an absolute sediment filter to remove all present dissolved solids followed by two granular activated carbon filters – the highest-rated and most powerful absorbent of impurities. A semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane then strains and rejects any contaminants that are too large to pass through the membrane’s microscopic pores. The water is passed through a final coconut shell post-carbon filter that polishes the water by removing any unpleasant tastes or odors before being received from the ambient, rapid chiller and carbon dioxide filtering canisters.
Vero Water also allows clients to go green for less green by eliminating the cost of goods for bottled still and sparking water. The systems are paired with Italian-designed, re-usable glass bottles - which can also be branded by the individual businesses - to encourage ecological initiatives and avoid the overwhelming waste of plastic bottles.

Water Stocks News - Tampa Bay Desalination Plant Achieves Performance Milestones
Water Stocks News - Tampa Bay Desalination Plant Achieves Performance Milestones
Tampa Bay Water and American Water-Acciona Agua hit 25 MGD for 4 months mark, 20 MGD for 12 months
CLEARWATER, Fla.--(Investorideas.com water stocks newswire )--Tampa Bay Water, American Water (NYSE:AWK), and Acciona Agua announced today that the Tampa Bay Seawater Desalination Facility, the largest seawater desalination plant in the U.S., has passed the final two performance milestone tests. The tests required the plant to produce 25 million gallons of water per day (MGD) for 120 consecutive days and also average 20 MGD for 12 consecutive months. Both milestones were successfully completed this February.
“American Water is pleased to be a partner with Tampa Bay Water and Acciona Agua in delivering such a significant water solution”
.“The completion of the last of a series of operational milestones at the Tampa Bay Seawater Desalination facility is an achievement for all of the region’s water customers,” said Gerald Seeber, General Manager of Tampa Bay Water. “The Facility provides an important, drought-proof component to the region’s water supply system and is a true example of a successful public-private partnership.”
At 25 MGD, the plant provides about 10 percent of the Tampa Bay region’s drinking water supply and is operated by American Water and Acciona Agua through the joint venture American Water – Acciona Agua LLC. The desalination plant serves as a model that other coastal communities may consider as a practical and sustainable solution to ease their water challenges.
“American Water is pleased to be a partner with Tampa Bay Water and Acciona Agua in delivering such a significant water solution,” said Don Correll, president and CEO of American Water. “This innovative plant meets the growing water needs of the Tampa Bay area and has produced more than 18 billion gallons of water for 2.5 million customers in the last two years.”
Luis Castilla, President for ACCIONA Agua SA, stated, “The public-private partnership with Tampa Bay Water highlights our commitment to the Tampa Bay region that the facility can deliver.”
As a result of passing the test, Tampa Bay Water will receive $31.25 million dollars from the Southwest Florida Water Management District, commonly known as SWFWMD. SWFWMD had pledged funds to help build the plant, but had required the plant to achieve four performance benchmarks prior to releasing all the funds.
Seawater desalination is a sustainable, drought-proof, environmentally sound source of drinking water. Groundwater from aquifers and surface water from rivers is already part of Tampa Bay Water's regional system, but seawater desalination was selected to add another element of diversity and drought-resistance to the region's water supply network.
Tampa Bay Water provides wholesale water to the public utility systems of Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties, as well as the cities of New Port Richey, St. Petersburg and Tampa, who in turn serve 2.5 million people in the Tampa Bay region. To learn more about Tampa Bay Water, please visit www.tampabaywater.org.
Founded in 1886, American Water is the largest investor-owned U.S. water and wastewater utility company. With headquarters in Voorhees, N.J., the company employs approximately 7,000 dedicated professionals who provide drinking water, wastewater and other related services to approximately 16 million people in 35 states and Ontario and Manitoba, Canada.
Based in Madrid, Spain, ACCIONA is one of Spain’s leading business corporations with more than 35,000 employees around the world. The company operates in infrastructure, energy, water and services in more than thirty countries. As part of this group ACCIONA Agua is one of the largest water treatment companies in the world, with over 75 desalination facilities in design, construction, or operation on 5 continents and water services to more than 2.5 million people, including the largest reverse osmosis facilities in Spain, Australia, the UK, and the U.S. and recently has been awarded with the largest wastewater treatment plant in the world, located in Atotonilco, Mexico.

Hydrocommerce Corner-Where Water & Money Meet

The never ending growing imbalances in global water supply and demand have been well documented over the last 20 years. Based on recent surveys, groundwater levels, reservoirs, lakes and other forms of water capture/supply sources are running dangerously low around the world, exacerbating an unquenchable and unsustainable water consumption/replenishment scenario with no solution in sight. Somewhat quietly in our opinion, water prices continue to rise well above inflation in developed countries, which should have spurned investor interest to a higher degree than what has taken place.
So where is the disconnect? Investment in the infrastructure-pipes, reuse systems, metering, and the like and even the primary source of our daily water-water utilities has been dismal to nonexistent. The EPA presently estimates that we are $600 Billion behind in US water system upgrades alone. No stimulus package or packages will solve the funding criticality that we are now facing. The only sources will be taxes on goods that potential foul or contaminate water on contact, a significant increase in your water bill that will reflect full cost pricing-energy use, treatment and conveyance to your shower head, bathtub, residential irrigation system etc and lastly, private funds (in the form of public-private partnerships) that have been active in other parts of the globe but have been given a relative cold shoulder here in the U.S.. While the rest of the emerging world recognizes that water infrastructure is critical for continued GDP growth, The U.S. falls farther behind in rebuilding our water infrastructure, there by jeopardizing not only our public health at the local level but our status as a key economic growth engine for the world as we enter into the second decade of the 21st century.
In the capacity of a portfolio manager in the water sector for the better part of the last decade, I always believe that there are two camps-the group that recognizes that opportunities abound for solution providers when problems arise and the second camp that relies on others to solve those problems for them. From an investor standpoint, the primary concern always comes back to the basic question that I have been repeatedly asked over the years - How do I make money investing in water stocks. With global water shortages looming and the availability of potable water continuing to dwindle, there will be significant opportunities for the companies that provide the solutions to these issues. Investments in water have been far below expectations but we see a changing mindset afoot. A greater level of investment will emerge in the next decade with a focus on areas where water shortages are prevalent.
A bifurcation investment approach of investing in developed countries where infrastructure is well established and emerging countries where the infrastructure build out is just beginning is a prudent approach. The underlying themes will include increasing the water supply through re-use technology (water recycling) and desalination where sufficient energy sources exist. Unless you live on the down slope of a mountain, water movement and treatment is an expensive proposition that investors don’t fully grasp in the context of energy usage and requirements (we will cover this in our next article). In the U.S., Flowserve and Energy recovery are two companies that come to mind which should benefit from activity these areas. The meters area will be used to regulate and reduce our daily usage, whether it is residential, agriculture or industrial. With energy providers and agriculture being the two largest daily users of water (home usage surprisingly is below 10%), a renewed interest on reduction in usage in gaining momentum, thereby benefitting companies like Itron and Badger Meter. At the home level, be prepared in the coming years for a massive replacement of water efficient devices that Congress quietly passed in January 2008. This is mandatory for any new construction! Any appliances and plumbing fixtures that use water will be replaced by a more water friendly device in the upcoming years. Geberit and Pentair sit squarely in the middle of this event.
Lastly, water utilities should not be overlooked. Water Utilities/Utilities involved in water usage such as hydroelectric may not grow very fast, but they are remarkably consistent—delivering solid but not spectacular returns every year. This enables these stocks to deliver impressive compounded returns over time. Just remember what we consider a key point- we have never seen a water utility trade on a j curve! One must be valuation sensitive and be aware of local and regional issues when wading into the water utility investment pool. Seasonality, rate case delays, droughts can have a positive or negative impact on each individual company. As a value investor, water utilities will likely be our favorite subsector for the foreseeable future providing cheap, high quality companies with solid dividends that have a lower beta relative to the broader market, prospects for continued earnings growth, and the possibility for valuation multiple expansions based on increased cost for water treatment and delivery leading to higher water rates. In the context of what many professional investors are calling he “new normal” - diminished growth, deleveraging, and increased government involvement that will reduce profits and their eventual distribution to investors in the form of dividends and interest - we believe that water utilities could experience significant investor interest in 2010 and beyond. Why? Bill Gross, PIMCO’s bond guru said it best in our opinion, validating our investment thesis: “why not just buy utilities if that’s what the future American capitalistic model is likely to resemble.” We wholeheartedly agree! In a low growth environment, it seems that a company’s stock should yield more than its less risky debt, and many utilities, especially water utilities bought at the proper valuation metrics, provide just that opportunity. A basket of high yield water utilities such as American Water, American States, Cascal, United Utilities and certain Hydro electric companies such as CEMIG should be considered by investors that are in search of sustainable yield and stable growth.
Water investing is not a direct investment based on some arbitrary value per gallon of water, but a strategic investment in the many sub-sectors that are involved in its extraction, treatment, regulation, metering, conveyance and resource management on both the domestic and global stage. Many investors look at water in varying capacities: commodity, natural resource, alternative, and utility are just a few of boxes that water is placed by the investment community. Although water is continually referred to as the next oil, our approach has always remained that the consistent growth of the sum of the parts of the global water business will likely provide investors exposure to a historically solid growth commodity that no one can do without.

With energy providers and agriculture being the two largest daily users of water (home usage surprisingly is below 10%), a renewed interest on reduction in usage in gaining momentum, thereby benefitting companies like Itron and Badger Meter. At the home level, be prepared in the coming years for a massive replacement of water efficient devices that Congress quietly passed in January 2008. This is mandatory for any new construction! Any appliances and plumbing fixtures that use water will be replaced by a more water friendly device in the upcoming years. Geberit and Pentair sit squarely in the middle of this event.
Lastly, water utilities should not be overlooked. Water Utilities/Utilities involved in water usage such as hydroelectric may not grow very fast, but they are remarkably consistent—delivering solid but not spectacular returns every year. This enables these stocks to deliver impressive compounded returns over time. Just remember what we consider a key point- we have never seen a water utility trade on a j curve! One must be valuation sensitive and be aware of local and regional issues when wading into the water utility investment pool. Seasonality, rate case delays, droughts can have a positive or negative impact on each individual company. As a value investor, water utilities will likely be our favorite subsector for the foreseeable future providing cheap, high quality companies with solid dividends that have a lower beta relative to the broader market, prospects for continued earnings growth, and the possibility for valuation multiple expansions based on increased cost for water treatment and delivery leading to higher water rates. In the context of what many professional investors are calling he “new normal” - diminished growth, deleveraging, and increased government involvement that will reduce profits and their eventual distribution to investors in the form of dividends and interest - we believe that water utilities could experience significant investor interest in 2010 and beyond. Why? Bill Gross, PIMCO’s bond guru said it best in our opinion, validating our investment thesis: “why not just buy utilities if that’s what the future American capitalistic model is likely to resemble.” We wholeheartedly agree! In a low growth environment, it seems that a company’s stock should yield more than its less risky debt, and many utilities, especially water utilities bought at the proper valuation metrics, provide just that opportunity. A basket of high yield water utilities such as American Water, American States, Cascal, United Utilities and certain Hydro electric companies such as CEMIG should be considered by investors that are in search of sustainable yield and stable growth.
Water investing is not a direct investment based on some arbitrary value per gallon of water, but a strategic investment in the many sub-sectors that are involved in its extraction, treatment, regulation, metering, conveyance and resource management on both the domestic and global stage. Many investors look at water in varying capacities: commodity, natural resource, alternative, and utility are just a few of boxes that water is placed by the investment community. Although water is continually referred to as the next oil, our approach has always remained that the consistent growth of the sum of the parts of the global water business will likely provide investors exposure to a historically solid growth commodity that no one can do without.

Cherry-bottled Water Tax Threatens Michigan Manufacturers, Jobs and Economy, According to Nestle Waters North America
STANWOOD, Mich., Dec. 14 /-- Nestle Waters North America (http://www.nestle-watersna.com), parent company of west Michigan-based Ice Mountain bottled water company, said an unconstitutional proposal put forward by Lt. Governor and gubernatorial candidate John Cherry this week threatens the thousands of clean, good paying jobs Michigan's water bottlers provide and would weaken producers' viability to operate in Michigan.
"Like every Michigan employer, we rely on an educated workforce. The Lt. Governor's proposal, however, will only penalize Michigan employers and risk jobs. The proposal could also drive some bottlers to supply products from outside the state to remain competitive on the price consumers pay for bottled water products," said Brian Flaherty, Vice President of Government Affairs for Nestle Waters. "The proposal would create an uneven playing field for those of us invested in Michigan that could not reasonably be sustained.
"Our team at Ice Mountain focuses on responsibly providing a purely Michigan product that is healthy, well liked, and often necessary in times of disaster. The jobs we provide in Michigan are important to the families of our employees, the community and state. We will protect these jobs by opposing any tax proposal that unfairly singles out our business."
Lt. Gov. Cherry announced a proposal to place 10-cent tax per bottle on bottled water manufactured in Michigan to fund education scholarships cut in recent state budget scale-backs. The tax would not be imposed on the hundreds of beverage products manufactured outside the state but which are sold at Michigan retailers.
"Let's look at the math," said Flaherty. "Most bottled water is purchased in cases of 24 bottles of .5 liter size, for about or less than $4.00 per case -- putting the price per bottle at about 16 cents. A 10-cent per bottle tax on Michigan manufactured products nearly doubles the price for consumers, and would be unsustainable in the highly competitive beverage marketplace.
"Consumers are very savvy, and rarely could be convinced to pay nearly double for Michigan-produced bottle water when lesser-priced options exist," said Flaherty. "I challenge you to ask consumers if they'd pay $6.50 for a case when they can pay less than $4 for the same product made elsewhere."
The proposal would also halt or slow further investment by Michigan bottlers into new Michigan facilities and manufacturing equipment upgrades that would create additional jobs.
Water bottlers are an important part of the Michigan economy, and provide tax revenues locally and to the state.
Michigan bottlers employ approximately 15,000 people in the state, either directly or indirectly through suppliers and vendors. In 2008, bottled water production was responsible for nearly $2.4 billion in total economic activity in Michigan, with the industry and its employees paying over $16.3 million in property, income and sales taxes. www.bottledwater.org
Nestle Waters employs 250 – 300 people at its Stanwood, Michigan operations, with an annual payroll of more than $16 million. Worker wages and benefits, including health, dental and vision insurance, and retirement savings, exceed $40,000 annually. Nestle Waters is among leading local taxpayers, generating approximately $2 million annually for local government services and schools.
As presented, the Cherry proposal is unconstitutional, as since 1974, Michigan's state constitution exempts food products from sales or use tax. (Mich. Const. of 1963, art. IX, sub section 8). In addition, bottled water is classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the State of Michigan as a packaged food product.
"This proposal sends up a perverse incentive that would work against good Michigan jobs and the state collecting revenues. It reveals an approach to governing that would punish good Michigan jobs and reward out of state companies. It doesn't make sense for a state looking to retain and grow good jobs necessary to supporting valid priorities like education."

"Like every Michigan employer, we rely on an educated workforce. The Lt. Governor's proposal, however, will only penalize Michigan employers and risk jobs. The proposal could also drive some bottlers to supply products from outside the state to remain competitive on the price consumers pay for bottled water products," said Brian Flaherty, Vice President of Government Affairs for Nestle Waters. "The proposal would create an uneven playing field for those of us invested in Michigan that could not reasonably be sustained.
"Our team at Ice Mountain focuses on responsibly providing a purely Michigan product that is healthy, well liked, and often necessary in times of disaster. The jobs we provide in Michigan are important to the families of our employees, the community and state. We will protect these jobs by opposing any tax proposal that unfairly singles out our business."
Lt. Gov. Cherry announced a proposal to place 10-cent tax per bottle on bottled water manufactured in Michigan to fund education scholarships cut in recent state budget scale-backs. The tax would not be imposed on the hundreds of beverage products manufactured outside the state but which are sold at Michigan retailers.
"Let's look at the math," said Flaherty. "Most bottled water is purchased in cases of 24 bottles of .5 liter size, for about or less than $4.00 per case -- putting the price per bottle at about 16 cents. A 10-cent per bottle tax on Michigan manufactured products nearly doubles the price for consumers, and would be unsustainable in the highly competitive beverage marketplace.
"Consumers are very savvy, and rarely could be convinced to pay nearly double for Michigan-produced bottle water when lesser-priced options exist," said Flaherty. "I challenge you to ask consumers if they'd pay $6.50 for a case when they can pay less than $4 for the same product made elsewhere."
The proposal would also halt or slow further investment by Michigan bottlers into new Michigan facilities and manufacturing equipment upgrades that would create additional jobs.
Water bottlers are an important part of the Michigan economy, and provide tax revenues locally and to the state.
Michigan bottlers employ approximately 15,000 people in the state, either directly or indirectly through suppliers and vendors. In 2008, bottled water production was responsible for nearly $2.4 billion in total economic activity in Michigan, with the industry and its employees paying over $16.3 million in property, income and sales taxes. www.bottledwater.org
Nestle Waters employs 250 – 300 people at its Stanwood, Michigan operations, with an annual payroll of more than $16 million. Worker wages and benefits, including health, dental and vision insurance, and retirement savings, exceed $40,000 annually. Nestle Waters is among leading local taxpayers, generating approximately $2 million annually for local government services and schools.
As presented, the Cherry proposal is unconstitutional, as since 1974, Michigan's state constitution exempts food products from sales or use tax. (Mich. Const. of 1963, art. IX, sub section 8). In addition, bottled water is classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the State of Michigan as a packaged food product.
"This proposal sends up a perverse incentive that would work against good Michigan jobs and the state collecting revenues. It reveals an approach to governing that would punish good Michigan jobs and reward out of state companies. It doesn't make sense for a state looking to retain and grow good jobs necessary to supporting valid priorities like education."

Government of Canada Invests in Clean Water Technology
Government of Canada Invests in Clean Water Technology
KINGSTON, ONTARIO--- Nov. 26, 2009 - A technology that will greatly reduce the time and cost involved in testing our water for potentially dangerous pathogens is moving closer to commercialization, thanks in part to funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), an arm's-length, not-for-profit corporation created by the Government of Canada.
"By investing in Canadian technologies such as Pathogen Detection Systems' clean water technology, our Government is helping to stimulate a new green economy in Canada, creating jobs and helping to protect the environment," said David Anderson, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and for the Canadian Wheat Board.
SDTC, through its SD Tech FundTM, has committed $2.4 million to a project led by Kingston-based Pathogen Detection Systems Inc. for the development and demonstration of its portable, on-site, high-speed, fully automated microbiological water monitoring system to detect E. Coli and Total Coliforms in water. This funding was approved by SDTC's Board of Directors in June 2008.
"Pathogen Detection Systems' water monitoring system is a great example of a clean technology solution to a problem that affects all of us," said SDTC President and CEO Vicky Sharpe. "An alternative to the current slow, cumbersome water monitoring methods, this technology will help Canadian water utilities to get timely and more accurate water quality analysis, ensuring access to clean water while reducing testing costs," said Ms. Sharpe.
"This SDTC funding will have a significant positive impact on the planned expansion of Pathogen Detection Systems," said Pathogen Detection Systems President David Dolphin. "Our goal is to take this Canadian technology to the world".
Through its SDTC funded project, Pathogen Detection Systems will integrate its microbiological water monitoring system with sophisticated water treatment optimization software, reducing time by 50 to 80 %, reducing costs and improving test integrity. This will bring both water and greenhouse gas environmental benefits by improving water plant performance, reducing energy consumption and decreasing toxic water treatment by-products.
About SDTC
Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) is an arm's-length foundation created by the Government of Canada which has received $1.05 billion as part of the Government's commitment to create a healthy environment and a high quality of life for all Canadians.
SDTC operates two funds aimed at the development and demonstration of innovative technological solutions. The $550 million SD Tech FundTM supports projects that address climate change, air quality, clean water, and clean soil. The $500 million NextGen Biofuels FundTM supports the establishment of first-of-kind large demonstration-scale facilities for the production of next-generation renewable fuels.
SDTC operates as a not-for-profit corporation and has been working with the public and private sector including industry, academia, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the financial community and all levels of government to achieve this mandate.
About Pathogen Detection Systems
The PDS mission is to have a worldwide impact on public safety and the quality of the environment by developing advanced, automated systems for the detection of potentially harmful pathogens, such as bacteria, chemicals, and their by-products.
PDS was founded in 2003 to commercialize a novel method of automating microbiological testing based on research and development conducted at Queen's University in conjunction with a number of industrial partners. This research was inspired by the Walkerton water tragedy in which 7 people died, and thousands fell ill due to E.coli contamination of the water supply. Headquartered in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, PDS was acquired by Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies (VWS) in early 2009. PDS's expertise in water monitoring technologies, spectrophotometry and synthetic chemistry is now supported by the resources and technologies of the world's leading water treatment company.

Water News - IBM Tackles Smarter Water Management in EuropeNew center to study impact of climate change, severe weather
Download image MONTPELLIER, France and ARMONK, N.Y., Nov. 19 -- In a region of France known for sunshine, agriculture and natural spring water, IBM ( IBM) has established a Center of Excellence for Water Management to use high performance computing to monitor and forecast the impact of climate change and severe weather conditions on water resources.
Based in Montpellier, France, the center is in the Languedoc Roussillon, a southern-facing region with abundant sunshine and seasonal, torrential rains causing millions of dollars worth of damages each year. More than 400 miles of levees exist to protect the 600,000 people living in potential flood zones.
"We have a unique opportunity, and unique ability, to apply our combined expertise in high performance computing, sensor networks and advanced analytics across a wide variety of water management challenges," said Sharon Nunes, vice president, Big Green Innovations, IBM. "We're modeling and simulating flash flooding scenarios, water management infrastructures, reservoir systems and more to develop new innovations for predicting, managing and sometimes even preventing events that might otherwise have a negative impact on a region's water supply."
The center's high performance computing modeling capabilities combined with resilient sensor networks will enable fast, high resolution, large scale simulations based on multiple scenarios and options. With this ability, scientists can bring together a diverse set of information incorporating weather and climate changes, flood patterns, reservoir activity and more to develop new insights and innovations for smarter water management. Initiatives at the center are expected to complement those already underway with the county council including levee management, pollution reduction and sustained economic development.
One of the first projects slated for the Center of Excellence will be a collaborative effort by IBM and the ClusterEAU, an association of research laboratories, educational organizations and enterprises, to explore projects for advanced water resources management. The ClusterEAU was formed to respond to the constantly growing needs for innovative proposals to face the issues of ensuring the concerted management of world water resources in a context of global changes and new challenges arising from human society: rapidly growing populations, energy challenges, economic and environmental issues in urban and rural development, globalisation of markets and services, emerging countries, stagnation in the poorest regions, and more.
"The new Center of Excellence will be a unique opportunity for us to establish strong collaborations with IBM and jointly promote our expertise in the field of advanced water resources management, particularly the computational aspects," said Jean-Pierre Buchoud, president, ClusterEAU.
In 2008, IBM established centers of excellence for water management in Amsterdam, where the primary focus is on flood management and levee systems, and in Dublin, where the primary focus is to monitor, manage and forecast environmental challenges such as the movement of pollutants in fresh water, marine and oceanic environments.
IBM's smarter water management offering is part of its Big Green Innovations initiative, launched in October 2006 as part of IBM's $100 million investment in 10 new businesses generated by InnovationJam.

Based in Montpellier, France, the center is in the Languedoc Roussillon, a southern-facing region with abundant sunshine and seasonal, torrential rains causing millions of dollars worth of damages each year. More than 400 miles of levees exist to protect the 600,000 people living in potential flood zones.
"We have a unique opportunity, and unique ability, to apply our combined expertise in high performance computing, sensor networks and advanced analytics across a wide variety of water management challenges," said Sharon Nunes, vice president, Big Green Innovations, IBM. "We're modeling and simulating flash flooding scenarios, water management infrastructures, reservoir systems and more to develop new innovations for predicting, managing and sometimes even preventing events that might otherwise have a negative impact on a region's water supply."

Wescorp Energy Inc Showcase Profile Page
Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE) is an Oil and Gas solutions provider focused on deploying its water remediation and environmental technologies that overcome tough operational challenges facing oil and gas operators today on a global basis. Virtually anywhere in the world oil is produced contaminated water is produced, this includes associated formation water in conventional oil and gas production and potable water used in unconventional oil production such as the massive Oil Sands development in Alberta Canada.
Using conventional oil/water/solids separation technology, between 0.05% - 5% (500 ppm - 50,000 ppm) residual oil content remains in the water, Wescorp's patented, proven and highly scalable H2Omaxx microscopic aeration technology addresses this crisis by being able to increase the recovery of oil and reduce the amount of hydrocarbons in the contaminated water to less than 0.001% or 10 ppm. Wescorp's H2Omaxx is extremely economical and environmentally friendly eliminating the use of chemicals, filtration systems, high temperature systems and high pressure vessels.
