Water- Stocks.com Interview with Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management Inc.
Water- Stocks.com Interview with Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management Inc.
The Case for Water Equity Investing 2010
Point Roberts WA, DELTA, BC –December 2, 2009 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, presents an interview with Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc., discussing ‘The Case for Water Equity Investing 2010’.
Summit Global Management, Inc. is an investment firm focusing on global water industry stocks and acquiring and developing water rights and entitlements throughout the world.
Water- Stocks.com Interview with Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc:
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
Jud, can you start with giving our readers some personal background on your entry into the water sector and your current firm, Summit Global and its investment strategy?
A- Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc.
I have been in the cleantech sector, particularly water, for 30 years…long before it was cool. I spent the first half of my career operating clean tech concerns at both Westinghouse and Atlantic Richfield as well taking a cleantech company, Thermatrix, public in the mid nineties. The second half of my career has transitioned to financial areas serving as the Managing Director of HSBC Securities focused on the water sector to the last 10 years in private equity with affiliates of the Texas Pacific Group, including Aqua LLC, a private equity fund focused exclusively in the global water sector.
Summit Global Management is a San Diego-based investment management firm with a strict Discount to Appraised Value philosophy of securities selection, designed to achieve consistent long-term returns while minimizing risk.
Our value discipline has encouraged an unrivaled, 30-year specialization in global hydro commerce and other industries directly impacted by water. Water has historically proven to be an attractive non-cyclical opportunity, and the current reality of exploding demand coupled with diminishing supplies suggests an increasingly compelling and persistent investment theme. We are particularly focused on finding long term investments in the areas of water rights/entitlements and in situ water storage.
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
You recently chaired the panel,' EMERGING ASSET CLASSES: WATER, CARBON AND THE GREEN MOVEMENT 'at the Global Financial Leadership Conference held in Naples Florida. Other noted green and cleantech speakers included T. Boone Pickens, Chairman, BP Capital Management discussing 'THE NEW ENERGY PARADIGM'. Can you give is the key points of your panel discussion- and did you walk away with any new insight?
A- Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc.
Sure, it was a very interesting panel. I think it was the first time that many of leaders in the global financial community had heard any in depth discussion regarding how critical a role water plays in global economies and how inexorably water and energy are tied together, For example, as we begin to dramatically ramp up biofuels as an alternative fuel source, we are only now beginning to appreciate that impact some of these alternatives (e.g. corn based ethanol) are having on water supplies. For example, it requires 100 times more water to produce a gallon of ethanol versus conventional gasoline and depending on the region can cause dramatic consequences relative to maintaining a sustainable water resource…let alone its impact of food pricing.
Another enlightening example is contrasting and comparing “peak energy” to “peak water”. Peak energy albeit important to national security and global economies there ultimately are substitutes to fossil fuels (e.g. nuclear, solar wind); however, water has no substitute and is a very local commodity. When an aquifer is pumped essentially dry and surface waters are dramatically depleted and/or contaminated the price of water will rise dramatically and not only will economies be affected but there may be dramatic impacts on human health effecting food supplies and access to clean water and sanitation.
The water/energy nexus has other important parallels, another example being, as we strive to reduce carbon footprints and conserve carbon, California uses over 20% of its energy to move water and in many areas, due to antiquated water lines as much as 30% of the potable water is lost thru infiltration. Simply said, if we want to save energy, we need to fix the water infrastructure.
As a consequence, water is only now beginning to be appreciated as an asset class, creating investment interest in owning the right to use water (e.g. water rights/entitlements) in those areas of the world that have defined regulatory frameworks and provide for private ownership, principally the western United States and Australia. This is sometimes referred to as “wet water” versus investing in the general water domain (e.g., pumps, membranes, utilities) or “hydro commerce”. Water has historically been under priced and with an inexorable growing demand and more rational pricing models being adopted I believe “wet water” will be a critical resource to have in a diversified investment portfolio.
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
In Summit's report, 'The Case for Water Equity Investing 2010' , (http://www.summitglobal.com/documents/SummitCaseWaterEquityInvesting2010.pdf) you go through the underlying drivers for investing in water , from supply and demand to, to geographic imbalance between sources and use, to aging and insufficient infrastructure to increasing regulation and heightened awareness . For our readers, can you summarize the points and let us know what you think the most significant driving force is?
A- Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc.
There are a number of key trends to watch. First and foremost is the basic understanding that water has no substitute.., unlike energy. and there is a fixed finite supply (only 2.5% of the worlds water supply is fresh and of that 70% is locked up in glaciers and permafrost). Secondly, water is heavy (7lbs/gal) and is very expensive to move and not surprising there are large populations where fresh water is in short supply (e.g. middle east, western US, China and India).
So like politics, water is local… and therefore not surprisingly very political and emotional asset. Accordingly that leads to water allocation and prioritization. Typically 70% of water supplies are allocated to agriculture with the balance going to municipal and industrial uses. And finally, as in any valued commodity, the controlling metric is price. As the price of water rises, which it is at an increasing rate, alternative options become cost effective, driving investment and opportunity.
These opportunities can be seen in a variety of areas. A few examples include the proliferation of desalination plants and membrane improvements, remote metering and more efficient irrigation techniques such as drip irrigation.
The other key trend to watch is what is being referred to as “virtual water”…the amount of water that is required to produce a specific good. For example, it takes 5,000 gallons of water to yield a bushel of wheat and 1000 gallons of water to put a hamburger on a bun. We are beginning to see both industries and countries consider the impacts of virtual water as a key component of sustainable development and growth,
Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
Your report also goes into detail on the opportunities in the water investing universe. For investors looking at the sector - what are some key trends and events they need to be on the watch for to really move the stocks in the sector?
A- Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc.
We see strong fundamental drivers for sustainable growth and equity appreciation in global
“hydrocommerce,” investors have the opportunity today to invest in water companies at more attractive
valuations than have been available for a number of years.
Despite the negative short-term impact of the financial crisis, water equities are uniquely resistant to external economic cycles because of the decreasingly available supply and increasingly relentless demand for water. We believe water stocks represent an attractive alternative “store of value” in an uncertain world – a good place to save money for a rainy day.
The lure of water investing is not a new idea, but it is one that deserves fresh examination from the
perspective of the revised business expectations and new economic environment to emerge from the
wreckage of 2008. The intention of this document is not to promote a specific investment style or strategy,
only to be a broad overview of issues relevant to the serious investor in water equities.
People new to the concept of water investing are encouraged to read The Case for Water Equity Investing
2010 in its entirety in order to gain a complete understanding of the space, from its most fundamental
aspects on up.
In summary, it’s difficult to summarize in a few words other than providing some anecdotal metrics and examples. I would encourage your readers to take a few minutes and click thru to the link http://www.summitglobal.com/documents/SummitCaseWaterEquityInvesting2010.pdf I think they will find the information enlightening.

Water Stocks News - Nalco (NYSE:NLC) Announces Early Redemption of $190 Million of 2011 Senior Notes
Water Stocks News - Nalco (NYSE:NLC) Announces Early Redemption of $190 Million of 2011 Senior Notes
NAPERVILLE, Ill., Nov. 30, 2009 -- Nalco Holding Company (NYSE:NLC), providing essential expertise for water, energy, and air, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nalco Company, is calling for redemption of the remainder of its U.S. dollar-denominated 7.75% Senior Notes due in November of 2011. The redemption is being done at the par value of $190 million utilizing cash on hand, and is effective Dec. 28, 2009.
"We have generated record Free Cash Flow this year, and retiring this debt early is consistent with the company's stated intentions of reducing its leverage," said Bradley J. Bell, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "This action will save almost $15 million in annual interest expense and is more attractive than retiring the lower interest rate $167-million Term Loan B maturity of November 2010. We expect that future cash flow and other resources will be sufficient to satisfy that obligation on schedule, further de-levering our balance sheet," added Bell.
Addressing the higher cost debt first in this manner was made possible through a recently arranged set of amendments to Nalco's credit agreements. Among other features, those amendments also permit additional secured debt to be issued to call the Euro 200 million tranche of Nalco's 7.75% Senior Notes, otherwise due 2011, which could be expected to provide additional savings in interest expense.

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.
About Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies
VWS, the world leader in water treatment, is a specialized provider of technological solutions and design-build services to meet the needs of public authorities and industrial companies. It is a fully-owned subsidiary of Veolia Water, the global leader in water services. With 8,900 employees worldwide, VWS recorded revenues of $ 3.7 billion (USD) in 2008.

Investorideas.com Top 10 Investor Searches, Water Stocks Takes the Lead, Followed by Natural Gas and Renewable Energy
Investorideas.com Top 10 Investor Searches, Water Stocks Takes the Lead, Followed by Natural Gas and Renewable Energy
Search for Water Stocks May be attributed to new report on water scarcity
POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Delta, B.C.–November 25, 2009 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal announces this week’s top ten search phrases from inbound investors.
Water Stocks took the lead this week for the first time in months, followed by Natural Gas Stocks and Renewable Energy Stocks.
The inbound search for water stocks may have been partially attributed to a news and a report issued this week on water entitled – ‘New report shows water scarcity can be mitigated affordably and sustainably’.
November 23, 2009 - A new report released today by the 2030 Water Resources Group, Charting Our Water Future, shows that growing water scarcity can be mitigated affordably and sustainably. By providing greater clarity on the scale of the water challenge and the cost of the solutions, it offers a fact-based tool to help stakeholders make informed investment decisions and guide policy discussions. It finds that if no action is taken, by 2030, projected population and economic growth will lead to global water demand that is 40% in excess of current supply. In addition, this means that one-third of the world's population would have access to only half the water they need, living in water basins with a 50% deficit in supply. Full news story.

Featured Water Stock Showcase Company: Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE )
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.
