Intro
Global Water Intelligence is a major analyst for the private water sector. Amongst its roles is to advocate for a proper price on water and water markets, cheerleading for Desalination (little attention is paid to the potential environmental degradation from desalination) and tracking Public Private Partnerships. In short, Global Water Intelligence provide market opportunity intelligence to investors, industry and anyone else intent on profiting from water.
Giving some clue to their goals they state 'We aim to do two things for our readers':
* tell you where your next dollar is coming from by tracking major water projects around the world from conception to contract award * discuss with you the emerging trends in the industry to help you formulate strategy in a rapidly changing world
Moreover, they fully support and promote the notion that only the placing of a full economic value on water will address the current and impending water crisis, asserting 'At GWI, we are passionate about the value of water. If we can establish the economic worth of water, then everything else will follow. We will see investment in extending water services to the poor, and greater efforts to conserve water in those areas facing the crisis of scarcity' [1].
Seemingly innocuous, such assertions do not explain how the poorest will access water if without any purchasing power.
Company History
According to Global Water Intelligence the magazine 'was launched in June 2000 by the CWC Group, with Peter Allison as editor. Initially it focused on the private water market, but Christopher Gasson’s Media Analytics Ltd acquired it in September 2002. In 2003 GWI launched Desalination Tracker, which, together with our 2004 Desalination Markets report, transformed the fortunes of the company'.
While 'In 2005 Media Analytics acquired two related publications: the IDA Worldwide Desalting Plant Inventory, and Water Desalination Report' [2].
