Jerome K. Jerome, Recent work on information processing (even kin recognition) in plants suggests that there may be more going on there than we now understand; as for birds and mammals, it has long been appreciated that they are perfectly capable of deception and subversion.

Anonymous "The State Engineer of New Mexico is now involved in so much litigation that he has gone cross-eyed and is unable to argue consistently. His office has become the cornucopia of bad faith."

In the present period of economic uncertainty, investors worldwide are looking for hard assets. These include minerals and metals, oil and gas, timber, and water. Sophisticated investors seek actual direct ownership opportunities rather than investment in companies that own and control the hard assets. Over the past two years,. WaterBank® has provided consulting services to the flagships of investor firms in the United States and Europe several of which are no longer in existence such as Lehman Brothers, and Merrill Lynch who thought mortgage backed securities and derivatives were more lucrative than hard assets. Additionally, we have provided consulting services to investment firms that manage the personal fortunes of some of the icons of American business. In the water space their interests have ranged from the acquisition of water and wastewater utilities, water storage facilities, pipeline companies, ground-water exploration firms, bulk water transport, and ownership of the water resource itself. WaterBank® has its fingers on the pulse of the water business including the acquisition of the resource itself. WaterBank® acts as a water-rights broker and mergers and acquisition specialist. You can list water rights, water utilities, wells, springs, bulk water, bottled water businesses, disaster relief and emergency water supplies, irrigation project water, and geothermal water. This information comes to us in large quantities and the listings on our website are a small fraction of the opportunities in our databases. WaterBank® acts as a consultant to clients when it mines its databases for specific assets and as the merger and acquisition specialist in consummating transactions. WaterBank® is the only firm in the United States that carries out the valuation of water assets. Our clients range from municipalities to Indian tribes to private land owners. The valuation of water assets is unlike the appraisal of real estate. It requires knowledge of water law and hydrology as well as the legal and regulatory regime.. Water transactions and the acquisition of businesses in the water field require more than just listing water assets for sale, they require hands-on experience to navigate the legal, financial, and regulatory process. WaterBank® provides the expert services necessary to complete transactions. The principal of WaterBank® is an internationally recognized expert with more than 40 years of experience in surface and ground-water hydrology, real property law, and water-related transactions. WaterBank® provides land ownership determination, preparation of chains-of-title, title abstracts, attorney's title opinions, and curative title work for specific projects that are commonly required to satisfy buyers, bankers, bond counsel, and securities regulations. If you would like to donate water rights that you own to the WaterBank® Trust, a not-for profit trust created under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, and receive a tax deduction under Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code, visit the WaterBank® Trust web page and contact us for details. WaterBank® Trust was established to receive and dedicate water rights for conservation purposes such as in-stream flow and other environmental purposes. If you are a resident of any other country and you are able to make charitable donations for tax purposes and would like to donate water rights, contact us. We are able to establish charitable foundations in most countries that permit them. WaterBank® works to develop efficient methods of trading project water for irrigation, municipal or industrial uses online and including the two-stage auction process for water and water rights. If you are interested in this activity, please contact us. To initiate a business relationship with WaterBank® we require that our clients sign an engagement agreement that specifies our compensation and our duties. Our agreements require a monthly retainer fee and a performance or success fee. Gota a gota el agua se agota
