Our Aims
AQUA INDEX aims at turning water into a tradable commodity
Universal water pricing
Water prices vary from country to country and according to quality and type. A standard price for fresh water is needed. This can be achieved through the trading of water on international commodities exchanges and in regulated over-the-counter (OTC) markets. AQUA INDEX can extract an impartial price for water based on the transparent prices for agricultural and other commodities, already available on exchanges around the world. Thus an integrated world market for water can be created.
Distribution of water-as-collateral rights
Many members of the international community have access to and control of large quantities of fresh water. In some cases these resources are yet to be drawn upon as a financial asset. AQUA INDEX can assist these fresh-water owners in collateralizing their resource.
