Water is a vital ingredient for businesses, society and life in general. However, the world is currently on the brink of a water crisis. In the following feature we would like to introduce Mitsubishi Corporation's various water business initiatives.

As of 2010, the worldwide energy demand is 4.6 billion kW. In ten years time, it is expected to grow to 5.5 billion kW.
