An MSI Landscape report is a new concept - a short format report laid out as a Marketing Presentation. In hardcopy form, the report presents a pair of pages that discuss each report aspect or question shown in the Table of Contents. Thus the question Who are the Leading Hotel Groups in the UK? is supported by a graphic (in this case a pie chart showing market share of the leading chains) and by a table (in this case, the number of bedrooms and the number of hotels of 13 named groups, plus an entry covering the rest of the industry). The facing page states those Facts that you, as the person undertaking the presentation, would be expected to know - in this instance, five paragraphs covering the recent activities of the market leaders and pertinent bullet points to enable you to create a hard-hitting presentation.

The MSI Landscape range has proved to be extremely popular, both in the hardcopy format and in the additional PowerPoint electronic version - packaged ready for you to adapt to your needs or use immediately as a framework for presenting further analysis. MSI Landscapes are also purchased as an entry level report into a particular sector by marketing professionals, financial analysts, market researchers and business information professionals.

DEFINITIONS

This report examines the Water Industry in Northern and Southern Ireland, giving coverage of the water and sewerage services provided. The capital expenditure on water supply and sewage related projects for the 1996 to 2000 financial period, and forecast expenditure for the 2001 to 2005 financial period.

For the purposes of this report, sewage refers to water-borne wastes from domestic uses of water, derived from households or similar uses in trade and industry.

Sewerage is a system of pipes and mechanical appliances for the collection and transportation of domestic and industrial waste waters.

With regard to sewage, treatment levels are as follows:

Preliminary treatment: gross solids in sewage are removed or disintegrated by passing it through screens
Primary treatment: sewage flows into settling tanks where solid material sinks to the bottom
Secondary treatment: relies on the action of natural bacteria to break down the organic matter that is left in the sewage after primary treatment
Tertiary treatment: removes suspended matter and nutrients to enable the effluent to comply with more stringent standards before discharge to receiving waters

The three types of sludge produced at treatment works are classified as follows:

Primary sludge: made up of solid matter which settles in the first stage of sewage treatment
Humus sludge: made up of solid matter which settles in special treatment tanks known as humus tanks
Activated sludge: contains a lot of microbes and is used to treat incoming sewage at the secondary stage

Eutrophication refers to the enrichment of water by nutrients, especially compounds of nitrogen and phosphorous, causing accelerated growth of algae and higher forms of plant life to produce disturbance to the balance of organisms present in the water and to the quality of the water concerned.

Cryptosporidium refers to a water-borne micro-organism, believed to originate from livestock.

MSI has a policy of rounding numbers, including financial information, from five onwards up to the next significant figure.

All values quoted are at current prices unless otherwise stated.
