• Most of the companies serve direct water-related markets, including water treatment, filtration, pumps, wastewater systems, testing, and industrial water solutions. Examples include Pentair, Ecolab, Xylem, and IDEXX Laboratories, which all have significant exposure to water infrastructure or quality.
• NuScale Power stood out as a water-linked energy name because its modular nuclear reactors can support desalination and other process heat applications. This makes it a more unconventional pick compared with the traditional water utilities and equipment companies on the list.
