From the report: Access to clean drinking water is something that people living in developed countries often take for granted, but it is worth noting that even though more than two thirds of the world is covered in water, there are significant water shortages in both developed and emerging markets. In fact, many people in the most rapidly emerging economies such as China and India still lack adequate access to clean drinking water. A lack of clean water creates a host of problems that can hamper economic development in the emerging markets, but there is a new American company that is confronting these problems head-on.
Led by a politically connected management team, New Mexico-based Natural Blue Resources is trying to meet the challenges of recycling water and water conservation in bold ways. At the core of Natural Blue's growth plans is a smart acquisition strategy that helps NTUR identify companies that are already operating efficiently and bolster Natural Blue's efforts to deliver green solutions for water conservation.
Market Update: As part of its diversification under a green umbrella strategy, Natural Blue Resources announced last week that it has formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Natural Blue Steel, LLC. According to the Company's Chairman and former New Mexico Governor Toney Anaya, the worldwide demand for recycled steel presents an exciting opportunity for the company. Recycling is a core mission of Natural Blue Resources, and the company continues to integrate various 'green space' industries in its business growth strategy.

Southwest Drying Up
Albuquerque Journal--By John Fleck
Copyright © 2009 Albuquerque Journal
Journal Staff Writer
SAN ACACIA — When the weather heats up, James Cleverly's instruments can detect the moisture coming off this little patch of woods alongside the Rio Grande.
Once the heat dries out the surface soil, the plants' roots tap into deeper water, bringing it up and "transpiring" it through their leaves — essentially exhaling water, explained Cleverly, a University of New Mexico biologist.
Because the river and the nearby groundwater are closely linked, this ultimately means less water in the river.
The story Cleverly's instruments are telling, scientists say, is increasingly important to understanding what will happen to water supplies in New Mexico and across the West in a warming world.
In the summer, this stretch of bosque can lose the equivalent of a layer of water a quarter of an inch deep every day — far more than falls from the sky. The warmer it gets, the more this landscape dries out.
It is not the rain and snow that matters most, scientists like Cleverly say. It is the evaporation.
As Earth's climate warms, scientists expect years-long dry spells and wet spells to continue, just as we have seen in the past.
But with warmer temperatures and the resulting increase in evaporation, it will be harder to recover from the dry spells, according to a new analysis by University of New Mexico professor David Gutzler and UNM research student Tessia Robbins.
"We'll go into a big drought some time in the 21st century," Gutzler said, "and we just may not pull out of it."
"The fact that these droughts will be warmer could have severe implications," said University of Arizona drought researcher David Breshears.
The work by Gutzler and Robbins, first presented at a water research symposium at New Mexico Tech earlier this month, is the latest in a series of studies that present an increasingly clear message about the implications of climate change in New Mexico and across the Western United States.
Warmer temperatures "suck moisture out," said Columbia University climate scientist Richard Seager.
In a 2007 study published in the Journal Science, Seager argued that conditions like those during the 1930s Dust Bowl and the drought of the 1950s could become the new normal for the West. The new work by Gutzler and Robbins suggests things could be even worse.
Mid-range projections from global climate simulations — neither the highest nor lowest extremes — suggest average summertime warming in New Mexico of between 3 degrees and 4 degrees Fahrenheit in New Mexico by the middle of the 21st century, slightly less in winter, according to Gutzler. The warming results from increased emission of greenhouse gases from burning coal, oil and natural gas.
In a joint statement earlier this year, the national science academies of the world's eight leading industrial nations plus the five major emerging economies concluded that greenhouse-related climate change is occurring faster than scientists had anticipated and requires "urgent action" to reduce greenhouse emissions and prepare for coming climate changes.
In the Western United States, scientists say, those changes include decreased water supplies and increased drought.
One of the difficulties scientists have had in projecting those changes has been uncertainty over future rainfall patterns. Computer simulations of Earth's climate as it warms show the winter jet stream, which brings North America's winter rain and snow, shifting northward, drying out the Southwest.
There is significant uncertainty about the numbers, according to Gutzler. "Precipitation is a real wild card here," he said.
But the projections all agree on the warming temperature trend, Gutzler noted.
Gutzler and Robbins used a measure of drought conditions that takes into account not only how much rain and snow falls from the sky, but also how much water then evaporates. As temperatures rise, they found, "evaporation rates go through the roof," Gutzler said.
In the 20th century, long dry spells would create multiyear droughts. Between 1950 and the mid-'70s, for example, New Mexico was in "severe drought" as much as 30 percent of the time. But then wetter weather would allow recovery.
Gutzler and Robbins found that persistent warm temperatures, by increasing evaporation, would make such recoveries far harder.
With warmer temperatures in the 21st century, increased evaporation would mean severe drought conditions from 40 percent to as much as 90 percent of the time, the researchers found.
That finding from climate scientists is consistent with what researchers like Cleverly and Breshears, out measuring the effect of warmer temperatures on the landscape, have seen first hand.
Salt cedars, an invasive species common along the Rio Grande, could likely handle a warmer world by sending roots deeper and simply consuming more water, Cleverly said.
For native cottonwoods, the future depends on whether there is enough runoff from agriculture and cities to keep them alive.
Breshears, who studies the piñon woodlands of the Southwest, has already seen the results. He and a group of colleagues concluded that increased temperature turned a precipitation shortfall into a killer in 2002-03, when 4,500 square miles of piñon forest died.
Combine the increased evaporation with declines in the snowpacks that feed the West's rivers, and we have a problem, according to Gutzler.
"Anybody who's ever balanced a checkbook knows that if you're income goes down and your expenses go up, you've got a problem unless you have a cushion," Gutzler said. "And we don't have a cushion."
