Abstract

Water is a political, economic and social commodity, which in today’s environment must be supplied in sufficient quantities and at reasonable rates to meet the public’s demands. This paper discusses a very important trend in resolving this water supply dilemma and how this type of business is carried out in the Caribbean, realizing, however, that what we call the Caribbean way of doing business is definitely, over the past 10 years, also the way business is carried out in other parts of the world.

Conclusion

The benefits of a fast-track desalting plant can are listed below. 1. For the desalting plant/water supplier: • Rapid plant delivery enhances the chances of obtaining the contract. • Fast-track construction makes plants less expensive. • There is a faster return on investment; nonproductive capital tied up during installation earns money sooner. • The share of the water sale/purchase market is expanding because of the size of the BOO, BOOT and BOOM contracts. • The sale of water is a profitable added value step in the supply chain.
