<p>The senior equity analyst for the top-notch growth stock advisory, <a href="http://www.thestockadvisors.com/ccount/click.php?id=2841">Xcelerated Profits Report</a> explains, "Desalination is likely the only way the world's water needs will be met. And one company that will benefit is <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/energy-recovery-inc/erii/nas">Energy Recovery</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/energy-recovery-inc/erii/nas">ERII</a>).</p>
<p>"Just how severe is the shortage? Demand for fresh water will exceed supply by 50% in 2025, with one-third of the Earth's population living in countries with water scarcity. The bottom line is that if we plan to feed and provide water for everyone, we're going to have to find a way to use more water more efficiently. </p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/02/25/energy-recovery-erii-desalinization-amd-water-infrastructure/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Energy Recovery (ERII): Desalinization amd water infrastructure</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/02/25/energy-recovery-erii-desalinization-amd-water-infrastructure/">Energy Recovery (ERII): Desalinization amd water infrastructure</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:00:00 EST.
