Greetings from the CEO
Proper management and sustainability of our water resources is one of the most important and talked about issues in the global water industry today. By 2025, one third of the world’s population will be impacted by water shortages. Population growth and related industry will also impact water availability, including wastewater treatment disposal and energy needs.

Although water treatment technologies exist today that can help communities and industry, forward-thinking, creative solutions will be needed to support future water demands. Innovation will be a cornerstone for meeting these demands. Research and development into technologies and solutions that help industry and municipalities recycle and reclaim water, meet ever-stringent discharge requirements and reduce life cycle costs.

As a leader in water treatment technology and services, Siemens Water Technologies is developing product and solutions to meet the demands of communities and industry. Energy-efficiency, resource conservation and reduced life-cycle costs continue to be key drivers in technology development.

Thank you for joining us at IFAT 2008

Chuck Gordon
President and CEO, Siemens Water Technologies
