Buy companies with water rights.

I used to own Budweiser for that purpose, but they were purchased by a foreign company.

Coca-Cola might be a good bet.

If water becomes a bubble, the US might take nationalize some of it in the interests of national security.

Real Estate has water right provisions. My home contains a wet land for the purpose of free water, for my toilets, should I need it. A client of mine owns a stream in Canyon Park. His neighbor bottles water and owns a water purification patent. You'll find several obscure land trusts that own only water rights dating back to the early 1800s.

Real Estate already has the market cornered on water.

Another reply that has no meaning?

Yes Real Estate is owned. All land, in this country at least, has been claimed. Water rights are a very big deal going back to the time of the cattle men and farmers. Water rights are recorded then held in a wide variety of ways.

I happen to agree that water is the next big bubble.

What's the problem?

Water rights are one of the main reasons that McCain didn't win Colorado, because of comments that he made about wanting to change water rights on the Colorado river for those states downstream of Colorado.

There's an old saying in the wild west: "Whiskey's for drinkin' and water's for fightin'."
