The title of the report is Water, June 2007. Can't find a URL where you can download the report. I suggest contacting Credit Suisse. Here is the press release - <a href="http://www.credit-suisse.com/news/en/media_release.jsp?ns=40413" rel="nofollow">www.credit-suisse.com/news/en/media_release.jsp...</a>. The chart is from page 21 on the report and the title of the graph is growth in desalination. The source for the data is <a href="http://www.ewatermark.org" rel="nofollow">www.ewatermark.org</a>. Hope this helps. In answer to your questions, here you go. The title of the report is Water, June 2007. Can't find a URL where you can download the report. I suggest contacting Credit Suisse.
