AquaMexico aims to address the escalating water crisis in densely populated urban areas by investigating the feasibility of a new chemical treatment method as a continuation of last year’s $50,000 project. We seek individuals with experience in environmental sciences, chemical engineering, and the water industry to analyze the complexities of Mexico's water market, including customer segments, competitive landscapes, and regulatory frameworks. Your expertise can contribute significantly to creating sustainable solutions for safe water supply and management.

AquaMexico (?) • WHAT = Investigate solution to water issues in large population centers • WHY = Water is quickly becoming a crisis issue in the developing world • HOW = Investigate applicability of using a new chemical for treatment – extension of last year’s 50k project • OPEN = Would help to have environmental/ chemical/ water industry experience • Tahsin Alam, Sloan-Grad 04, tahsin@mit.edu • Robert Holm, KSG-Grad 04, robert_holm@ksg04.harvard.edu • Luis Laguna, Sloan-Grad 04, llaguna@mit.edu • Man-Shi Low, Architecture-Grad, mslow@mit.edu • Raja Surapani, Sloan-UG 05, sraja@mit.edu October 10, 2003 * tahsin@mit.edu
Next Steps • Analyze Mexico water industry • Customers: Players, private vs. government ownership, size of market, types of facilities (drinking/ wastewater/ bottling/ industrial) • Competitors: Current chemical suppliers, structure of distribution, structure of manufacturing
Next Steps (contd) • Substitute products: filtration, ozonation, other technologies • Government: Environmental regulation, privatization? • Interviews with relevant people • Chemical company • Industrial water treatment company • Government contacts
