Investors looking to cash in on water should look to opportunities in the "total water cycle," where companies look to address the global imbalances of the natural resource, Rainer Ottemann, head of fund sales for Germany and Austria at KBC Bank Deutschland, said Monday.
"Water may be the most underestimated resource in comparison to traditional resources, because it has much more significance to humans," Ottemann told "Power Lunch Europe."
Ottemann likes wastewater utilities like Severn Trent and Veolia in Europe, as well as Aqua America .
