Water Stocks; Energy Recovery Inc’s (NASDAQ: ERII) Pump Engineering Triumphs with Distinction Award for Water Technology Company of the Year
Industry-Leading Energy Recovery Devices Lauded for Innovative Global Desalination Application; Energy Recovery also Recognized as Integral to the Desalination Plant of the Year
SAN LEANDRO, Calif.--(Investorideas.com water stocks newswire )--Energy Recovery Inc (NASDAQ: ERII), a leader in the design and development of energy recovery devices for desalination, today announced that Pump Engineering (acquired by Energy Recovery in 2009) received the Distinction Award in the Water Technology Company of the Year category as part of the Global Water Intelligence Global Water Awards 2010. Energy Recovery was also recognized as part of the Desalination Plant of the Year Award for the inclusion of the company’s industry-leading PX Pressure Exchanger™ (PX™) energy recovery devices as an integral component at the Barcelona-Llobregat desalination plant in Spain.
“The Global Water Awards recognize industry visionaries and technology innovators, highlighting those companies and projects that set the standard for the global water industry to follow”
.“The 2010 Global Water Awards represent a crowning achievement for Energy Recovery from both a business and a technology perspective,” said G.G. Pique, president and CEO of Energy Recovery Inc. “The recognition of Pump Engineering as the Distinction Award winner in the Water Technology Company of the Year category further validates the significance of that strategic acquisition, and the Barcelona-Llobregat desalination plant being selected as the Desalination Plant of the Year demonstrates just how vital our PX devices are to the success of a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination facility. We are grateful to Global Water Intelligence and the entire international water industry for their continued recognition of Energy Recovery as a global industry business and technology leader.”
The Global Water Intelligence Global Water Awards recognize the most significant achievements in the global water industry during the past year, and the Water Technology Company of the Year acknowledges the company that has made the most significant contribution in the field of water technology. Pump Engineering, a leading provider of centrifugal turbine energy-saving technology for seawater and brackish desalination applications, was selected as the Distinction Award winner for its considerable achievements in 2009, including doubling global market share and securing a contract for its energy recovery devices at the Magtaa desalination plant in Algeria. Pump Engineering’s success in 2009 culminated in the December acquisition by Energy Recovery Inc, creating one of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of energy recovery devices and fluid processing systems for SWRO desalination as well as for oil and gas processing.
In addition, Energy Recovery was also recognized for the integration of its PX devices into the Barcelona-Llobregat desalination plant, the winner of the Desalination Plant of the Year Award. Producing 200,000 m3/day of potable water for metropolitan Barcelona, the SWRO facility is the largest in Europe. By reducing the energy consumed during the SWRO desalination process by up to 60 percent, Energy Recovery is helping the Barcelona-Llobregat and other global facilities cost-effectively produce fresh, clean water.
“The Global Water Awards recognize industry visionaries and technology innovators, highlighting those companies and projects that set the standard for the global water industry to follow,” said Christopher Gasson, publisher of Global Water Intelligence. “Energy Recovery and Pump Engineering have long been two of the industry’s established leaders, so it is no surprise that the combined entity has been acknowledged for its cutting-edge technology achievements as well as for the practical application of its solutions. We applaud Energy Recovery and look forward to continued success from the company in 2010 and beyond.”
Energy Recovery's PX devices operate at up to 98 percent efficiency and reduce the energy consumption of SWRO systems by up to 60 percent, making desalination a cost-effective solution for clean water supply.

Water News; Shrinking Aral Sea underscores need for urgent action on environment – Ban
Water News; Shrinking Aral Sea underscores need for urgent action on environment – Ban
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on visit to the Aral Sea
http://www.un.org/
Investorideas.com water stocks newswire - 4 April 2010 – Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Sunday witnessed one of the world's worst environmental disasters as he flew over the shrinking Aral Sea – a sight which he said underscores the need for collective action to save the planet's resources.
The Aral Sea, once the world's fourth largest lake, has in recent decades shrunk in size by more than 70 per cent after tributary rivers were diverted for irrigation projects. The salinity of the region's soil has soared and the area is also heavily polluted.
“It was shocking,” Mr. Ban told reporters in Nukus after a helicopter tour of the area with Prime Minister Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan, the latest stop on his visit to Central Asia.
“It is clearly one of the worst environmental disasters of the world... It really left with me a profound impression, one of sadness that such a mighty sea has disappeared,” he stated.
The Secretary-General said that, standing on the shores of a vanished sea, he could not see anything except a “cemetery of ships marooned in the sand.” As a result of the disaster, people are getting sick, the land is poisoned, and storms blow dust and salt as far as the North Pole.
“It was a vivid testament to what [...] happens [...] when we waste our common natural resources, when we neglect our environment, when we mismanage our environment.”
Speaking later at an official dinner in the capital, Tashkent, the Secretary-General noted that the aerial tour reminded him of flying over Africa's Lake Chad in 2008. “It, too, has shrunk to a small fraction of its former size, with disastrous effects on millions of people.
“I think this is a collective responsibility, not only for the nations of Central Asia but the whole world,” he said. “I was very encouraged by what I learned? all the measures the Government is taking to deal with the effects of the disaster.”
Mr. Ban voiced appreciation for the international fund for saving the Aral Sea which was initiated by the five leaders of Central Asia, and pledged the UN's assistance for their efforts.
“We should become better stewards in managing the environment,” Mr. Ban stated. “We must deliver this Planet Earth to our succeeding generations, so that they can live in a more hospitable, in a more environmentally sustainable way.
“That is a moral and political imperative,” he stressed.
While in Tashkent, the Secretary-General will meet tomorrow with President Islam Karimov and deliver a lecture at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy.
Mr. Ban's first official visit to Central Asia since becoming UN chief also included stops in Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan, and will take him next to Tajikistan and Kazakhstan.

Water- Stocks.com Presents Q&A Interview with Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX) for World Water Day
Water- Stocks.com Presents Q&A Interview with Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX) for World Water Day
Point Roberts WA, DELTA, BC –March 22, 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 , Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX) following the theme of World Water Day, March 22nd.
Water- Stocks.com Interview with Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
UN-Water has chosen ''Clean Water for a Healthy World" as the theme for World Water Day 2010. For investors that don’t know the history of Middlesex Water Company, can you give us a summary of how your company has played a key role in the water industry in the past, leading up to your current position in the sector?
A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
The availability of a reliable supply of clean, safe drinking water is a major concern both on the global stage and locally and it’s an issue we take very seriously at Middlesex Water Company. Our company was incorporated in 1897 as a water utility primarily serving customers in eastern Middlesex County, New Jersey. Over time, our business, as well as the areas in which we operate, has grown and evolved. In addition to establishing a solid retail and wholesale revenue base in New Jersey, we entered into a public private partnership agreement with a major New Jersey city in 1998. We acquired other water and wastewater companies in New Jersey, and in 1992 expanded to Delaware where we acquired a 2,400 customer system which has since grown to more than 40,000 customers. We entered the regulated wastewater business in Delaware in 1995 (a key growth driver for the Company) and also added numerous additional water and wastewater contract operations to our portfolio. Presently, we are largely a New Jersey and Delaware company which just recently expanded its footprint to Pennsylvania through the acquisition of assets of a small system in that state. We differentiate ourselves from our peers in the industry in that we are one company offering developers, municipalities and small system owners a complete suite of services which includes water production and treatment, wastewater collection and treatment, full service contract operations and design/build/ownership and operation of assets. We are capable of providing these services as either a regulated utility or as a contract operator. We implement whatever business model best balances all the needs of the prospective customer. We have increasingly demonstrated our ability to grow the business profitably and we have the technical and operational expertise, financing capability and solutions-based philosophy that addresses present and future water and wastewater challenges.
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
In previous interviews on our site, water expert Mr. William Brennan noted that, “Water stocks are not recession proof but are recession resistant. “ In line with that, your corporate dividend history for investors is impressive, paying dividends since 1912. Can you explain some of the factors influencing performance of water stocks and expand on your dividend history to investors?
A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
No one can argue that water is essential to life. In that regard, the growing opportunities in this industry through public private partnerships and outright sale of municipal assets, the need for long term investment to upgrade water infrastructure, the regulated utility business model and our growth profile, suggest that Middlesex Water could be an essential part of an investment portfolio for investors seeking reasonable and steady growth in earnings per share. While weather and the ability to obtain recovery through the regulatory framework of investments in utility infrastructure impact sector performance, we are well positioned to grow the company through organic growth (adding customers to new or existing systems), strategic and profitable acquisitions, regulated and non-regulated operating contracts and complementary products and services. Investors are also compelled by our robust dividend yield and Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase plans. Middlesex Water has paid quarterly dividends for 97 years, and, in 2009, increased its dividend for the 37th consecutive year. We are proud of this strong dividend history, our record as a Mergent Dividend Champion and understand the importance of this dividend to our shareholders.
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
Water conservation and usage is a key issue in addressing global water issues. Middlesex Water Company just announced joining with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) WaterSense® program in promoting "Fix a Leak Week," March 15 through 21, 2010 to encourage residents to check household plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems for leaks. Can you expand on this initiative and others your company is involved in?
A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
Water is a renewable resource and we are fortunate to enjoy an adequate supply of water in the areas in which we do business. But to ensure the availability of such resources well into the future we constantly encourage our customers to use water wisely. Our ongoing partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense Program, of which Fix a Leak Week is one initiative, helps us to educate our customers about how to decrease indoor and outdoor water use through simple water-saving practices, available on our website www.middlesexwater.com, and WaterSense labeled water-efficient products. By the very nature of our business, we are an environmental steward, advocating for the protection of our watershed areas and the preservation of our natural resources. The Company is very involved in outreach to customers, local schools and municipal officials and in 2009 received recognition as a Green Leadership Award winner for its education efforts and commitment to renewable energy. We power 10% of the energy needs of our largest treatment plan in New Jersey with an onsite solar energy system, a demonstrated commitment to sustainable business practices, which gained our Company recognition as an Outstanding Green Business Leader in 2008. Electric power is one of the largest line-item costs for a water utility due to the fact that it requires a great deal of energy to treat water and to transport it over long distances through our distribution system. We are grateful that this successful project not only reduces operating costs but also, makes a contribution toward protecting our environment. Other initiatives include an active leak detection program, an ongoing effort to improve our business processes and use of technology, and our main cleaning and lining program, which is designed to cost-effectively upgrade our water infrastructure including water mains, valves and hydrants. These efforts are designed to improve services to our customers and improve shareholder value.
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
As a closing note, we frequently ask industry leaders in the water sector to address the critical need to pay attention to water investment in the cleantech space. Ceres.Org, released a report last year, “Water Scarcity & Climate Change: Growing Risks for Businesses & Investors", noting that water is an area that needs more attention. Can you give us your thoughts on this an executive in the industry?
A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
As municipalities wrestle with increasing fiscal challenges, aging utility infrastructure, increasingly stringent water quality regulations and a transitioning workforce, the need to ensure the continual delivery of a reliable supply of safe drinking water will grow more complex, challenging and critical. While this presents opportunities for the investor-owned sector and therefore, opportunities for appropriate shareholder returns, it also highlights the need to better educate customers and residents about the true cost of providing reliable water and wastewater service, and the importance of infrastructure upgrades and replacement. Interest in the water space has continued to grow in recent years, both domestically and internationally. Regardless of the size and scope of any individual water system, we view this as a very local business, that directly influences the health and welfare of the residents served as well as the local economy. We believe strongly in the importance of maintaining relationships with our customers, local officials and regulators, ensuring our employees possess the tools and training to deliver quality service and providing solutions to municipalities and developers seeking answers to their water and wastewater challenges. Our strength lies in our expertise, our people and our vision for growth and these will contribute to shareholder value.

Point Roberts WA, DELTA, BC –March 22, 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 , Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX) following the theme of World Water Day, March 22nd.
Water- Stocks.com Interview with Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
UN-Water has chosen ''Clean Water for a Healthy World" as the theme for World Water Day 2010. For investors that don’t know the history of Middlesex Water Company, can you give us a summary of how your company has played a key role in the water industry in the past, leading up to your current position in the sector?
A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
The availability of a reliable supply of clean, safe drinking water is a major concern both on the global stage and locally and it’s an issue we take very seriously at Middlesex Water Company. Our company was incorporated in 1897 as a water utility primarily serving customers in eastern Middlesex County, New Jersey. Over time, our business, as well as the areas in which we operate, has grown and evolved. In addition to establishing a solid retail and wholesale revenue base in New Jersey, we entered into a public private partnership agreement with a major New Jersey city in 1998. We acquired other water and wastewater companies in New Jersey, and in 1992 expanded to Delaware where we acquired a 2,400 customer system which has since grown to more than 40,000 customers. We entered the regulated wastewater business in Delaware in 1995 (a key growth driver for the Company) and also added numerous additional water and wastewater contract operations to our portfolio. Presently, we are largely a New Jersey and Delaware company which just recently expanded its footprint to Pennsylvania through the acquisition of assets of a small system in that state. We differentiate ourselves from our peers in the industry in that we are one company offering developers, municipalities and small system owners a complete suite of services which includes water production and treatment, wastewater collection and treatment, full service contract operations and design/build/ownership and operation of assets. We are capable of providing these services as either a regulated utility or as a contract operator. We implement whatever business model best balances all the needs of the prospective customer. We have increasingly demonstrated our ability to grow the business profitably and we have the technical and operational expertise, financing capability and solutions-based philosophy that addresses present and future water and wastewater challenges.
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
In previous interviews on our site, water expert Mr. William Brennan noted that, “Water stocks are not recession proof but are recession resistant. “ In line with that, your corporate dividend history for investors is impressive, paying dividends since 1912. Can you explain some of the factors influencing performance of water stocks and expand on your dividend history to investors?
A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
No one can argue that water is essential to life. In that regard, the growing opportunities in this industry through public private partnerships and outright sale of municipal assets, the need for long term investment to upgrade water infrastructure, the regulated utility business model and our growth profile, suggest that Middlesex Water could be an essential part of an investment portfolio for investors seeking reasonable and steady growth in earnings per share. While weather and the ability to obtain recovery through the regulatory framework of investments in utility infrastructure impact sector performance, we are well positioned to grow the company through organic growth (adding customers to new or existing systems), strategic and profitable acquisitions, regulated and non-regulated operating contracts and complementary products and services. Investors are also compelled by our robust dividend yield and Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase plans. Middlesex Water has paid quarterly dividends for 97 years, and, in 2009, increased its dividend for the 37th consecutive year. We are proud of this strong dividend history, our record as a Mergent Dividend Champion and understand the importance of this dividend to our shareholders.
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
Water conservation and usage is a key issue in addressing global water issues. Middlesex Water Company just announced joining with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) WaterSense® program in promoting "Fix a Leak Week," March 15 through 21, 2010 to encourage residents to check household plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems for leaks. Can you expand on this initiative and others your company is involved in?
A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
Water is a renewable resource and we are fortunate to enjoy an adequate supply of water in the areas in which we do business. But to ensure the availability of such resources well into the future we constantly encourage our customers to use water wisely. Our ongoing partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense Program, of which Fix a Leak Week is one initiative, helps us to educate our customers about how to decrease indoor and outdoor water use through simple water-saving practices, available on our website www.middlesexwater.com, and WaterSense labeled water-efficient products. By the very nature of our business, we are an environmental steward, advocating for the protection of our watershed areas and the preservation of our natural resources. The Company is very involved in outreach to customers, local schools and municipal officials and in 2009 received recognition as a Green Leadership Award winner for its education efforts and commitment to renewable energy. We power 10% of the energy needs of our largest treatment plan in New Jersey with an onsite solar energy system, a demonstrated commitment to sustainable business practices, which gained our Company recognition as an Outstanding Green Business Leader in 2008. Electric power is one of the largest line-item costs for a water utility due to the fact that it requires a great deal of energy to treat water and to transport it over long distances through our distribution system. We are grateful that this successful project not only reduces operating costs but also, makes a contribution toward protecting our environment. Other initiatives include an active leak detection program, an ongoing effort to improve our business processes and use of technology, and our main cleaning and lining program, which is designed to cost-effectively upgrade our water infrastructure including water mains, valves and hydrants. These efforts are designed to improve services to our customers and improve shareholder value.
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
As a closing note, we frequently ask industry leaders in the water sector to address the critical need to pay attention to water investment in the cleantech space. Ceres.Org, released a report last year, “Water Scarcity & Climate Change: Growing Risks for Businesses & Investors", noting that water is an area that needs more attention. Can you give us your thoughts on this an executive in the industry?
A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
As municipalities wrestle with increasing fiscal challenges, aging utility infrastructure, increasingly stringent water quality regulations and a transitioning workforce, the need to ensure the continual delivery of a reliable supply of safe drinking water will grow more complex, challenging and critical. While this presents opportunities for the investor-owned sector and therefore, opportunities for appropriate shareholder returns, it also highlights the need to better educate customers and residents about the true cost of providing reliable water and wastewater service, and the importance of infrastructure upgrades and replacement. Interest in the water space has continued to grow in recent years, both domestically and internationally. Regardless of the size and scope of any individual water system, we view this as a very local business, that directly influences the health and welfare of the residents served as well as the local economy. We believe strongly in the importance of maintaining relationships with our customers, local officials and regulators, ensuring our employees possess the tools and training to deliver quality service and providing solutions to municipalities and developers seeking answers to their water and wastewater challenges. Our strength lies in our expertise, our people and our vision for growth and these will contribute to shareholder value.

Valcent Products (OTCBB: VCTZF) VertiCrop high density vertical growth system technology addresses water use
Water-Stocks.com Reports on Water footprint of Agriculture for World Water Day
Valcent Products (OTCBB: VCTZF) VertiCrop high density vertical growth system technology addresses water use
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –March 18, 2010 Investorideas.com and its water investor portal, www.Water-Stocks.com, report on the virtual water footprint of agriculture as World Water Day, March 22 approaches.
The overall goal of the World Water Day on 22 March 2010 campaign is to raise the profile of water quality at the political level so that water quality considerations are made alongside those of water quantity. As issues of water quality and water scarcity are addressed; agriculture having one of the greatest impacts on the global water footprint is a primary topic of concern.
One company working at providing a partial solution is Valcent Products Inc. (OTCBB: VCTZF), with its VertiCrop high density vertical growth system technology. Chris Bradford, CEO of Valcent Products Inc noted “ World Water Day is becoming increasingly important in creating awareness of severe shortages of potable and useable water in most places in the world. In this regard, Valcent’s two core business plans to market both the Verticrop and Alphacrop is timely in that these high density vertical growing systems save up to 95% of the water used in a field crop to produce the same amount of vegetables. This sustainable water savings is becoming more critical in many drought areas which in turn has an impact on food security as well. “
According to Thomas M. Kostigen, author of "The Green Blue Book: The Simple Water-Savings Guide to Everything in Your Life", being released on World Water Day, March 22; “It takes about 123 gallons of water to grow a pound of oats, for example. So the virtual water count of this pound of oats is 123 gallons. Now, extend this to a slice of beef. Since cattle have to feed on oats or some other grain and obviously need to drink water themselves, their virtual water count is higher than that of what they chew. It also takes water to process their meat. The virtual water footprint of a pound of beef, therefore, is 1,500 gallons. When you understand that there's a virtual water count to producing everything -- a beer (20 gallons), a glass of wine (30 gallons), a cup of coffee (37 gallons), a cup of tea (5 gallons), a car (39,000 gallons), a bicycle (480 gallons) -- you can make water-smart choices.”

Mrs. Margaret Catley-Carlson, Chair of the Global Agenda Council on Water Security commenting on WATER PERSPECTIVES FROM DAVOS 2010 reports, “A major new exercise on a Vision for Agriculture attracted most of the world’s elite Food Production people; water was a frequently mentioned, together with (still nascent) ideas on how to support the efforts to use less water yet grow more food.”
Full article: http://www.maximsnews.com/news20100217catleycarlsondavos11002170801.htm
The reason this is such an urgent issue is explained at www.Worldchanging.com, “Global crop production requires more than 6 trillion cubic meters of water each year, with nearly a quarter of supplies flowing to rice paddies. Livestock production requires the most water resources in the food chain. One hamburger, for instance, needs 2,400 liters of water on average.”
