Based on his 2005 article in Market Outlook, Maxwell revisits the real value of water versus the average price of water relative to the other necessities and various luxuries of life and makes key comparisons regarding the price of water and states the inevitability of having to pay more for water. The article provides two tables that list the average price of water by country, and price comparison of water versus other widely used consumer goods.
