Minnesota's Water Industry Economic Profile Summary

This document is an overview of the EQB and the Department of Employment and Economic Development collaboration of  Minnesota's Water Industry Economic Profile. Safe and affordable water is an important aspect of economic vitality and public health. Unfortunately, water supplies are running perilously low around the world; by 2025, market analysts expect two-thirds of the world population will experience water stress. This pending scarcity presents both a challenge and an opportunity for those companies that can provide efficiency and reuse solutions. Minnesota’s combination of creative firms, progressive policies, supporting institutions and natural resources makes it well positioned to capitalize on this growing global demand.
