1. WHAT = Investigate solution to water issues in large population centers
2. WHY = Water is quickly becoming a crisis issue in the developing world
3. HOW = Investigate applicability of using a new chemical for treatment – extension of last year’s 50k project
4. OPEN = Would help to have environmental/ chemical/ water industry experience

Next Steps
• Analyze Mexico water industry– Customers: Players, private vs.
government ownership, size of market, types of facilities (drinking/ wastewater/ bottling/ industrial)
– Competitors: Current chemical suppliers, structure of distribution, structure of manufacturing

Next Steps (contd)
– Substitute products: filtration, ozonation, other technologies
– Government: Environmental regulation, privatization?
• Interviews with relevant people– Chemical company– Industrial water treatment company– Government contacts
