Water as an Investment Theme

You may find the article from Finance Asia interesting. The topic is on Water as an investment theme. There are actually quite a number of 'water-themed' companies listed on SGX and the majority are from China*:

1. Asia Environment*
2. Asia Water*
3. Bio-Treat*
4. Darco*
5. Dayen*
6. Eco Water
7. Hyflux
8. Pan Asian Water
9. Sinomen*

You can see from yourself how dirty DianChi is...
