In answer to your questions, here you go. The title of the report is Water, June 2007. Can't find a URL where you can download the report. I suggest contacting Credit Suisse. Here is the press release - www.credit-suisse.com/news/.... The chart is from page 21 on the report and the title of the graph is growth in desalination. The source for the data is www.ewatermark.org. Hope this helps.

Two questions for the author or anyone else:

1. What is the source of the graph (labeled "Figure 20" but the text is too blurry to read the source) in this article?

2. What is the title of the Credit Suisse report mentioned in the article? Can you provide a link or download?

Thanks.

The tough part of this is selling to municipalities - talk about a long sales cycle coupled with major budget restraints.

In many ways, I feel, the solutions in this space will mirror those for renewable energy: We'll see more decentralized production to replace aging and obsolete distribution networks.
