Not only and TSMC and Singapore tech leaders in several areas, but they have the potential to dominate water recycling technologies, which with the world water situation become a mega-market worldwide in itself. I have been following this trend for decades and even did a student project on it sixty years ago where the local sewage plant turned our drinkable water. I visited the local sewage plant to get samples of treated water that hadn't been chlorinated yet and proved fish had no problem living in it for extended times. It was very interesting talking to the engineers that ran the plant and the great work that they were doing. In the future, there won't be sewage plants in many areas, just water recycling plants. No doubt this will be a mega-market using a wide range of technologies including semis/mems for control and monitoring of processes. This will be a market of staggering size in an increasingly overpopulated world with a stressed environment. Any thoughts or comments solicited and appreciated. This is definitely an area for investment.
China is one of the “thirstiest” countries in the world with a per capita water availability a quarter of the United States. With population, pollution, and water shortages growing unabatedly, [...]
I've heard Israel is also very good at using their water effectively when a Arizona representative mentioned it during a news segment regarding Intel/TSMC foundries.
Since the earlier drought (that thankfully is over for Taiwan), I've been monitoring the water levels of Taiwan's reservoirs periodically here:

The market for clean water is staggering and it will be interesting to see what a technological powerhouse like TSM comes up with. Even though water treatment is totally outside their traditional markets, the demand for solutions is staggering and growing. With the very wide range of technologies and applications going into semi fabrication, it would be a waste not to pursue such the market for recycling water worldwide that is desperately seeking solutions. It could turn into not only a profitable business but a serious contribution to mankind and the environment. Water processing already is one of the keys to economic and social progress. This would also make TSM a true ESG corporation that is becoming a standard for true corporate leadership in the world.
