Marshall & Stevens, a premier full-service valuation consulting, transaction advisory, and litigation support firm announced it is convening a panel of leading experts for its 2026 Water Forum, titled “Navigating Water Risk Across Agriculture, Infrastructure, and Capital” on Wednesday, September 9, 2026.
Water scarcity is increasingly becoming a critical factor in agricultural production, infrastructure development, real estate valuation, technology, investment decisions, and economic growth. The forum will bring together experts who see the water challenge from very different perspectives and create a candid, informed conversation about what is changing, where the greatest risks are emerging and what solutions may be available.
“Water is one of the clearest examples of a trend that crosses traditional industry lines,” says Ralph Consola, chief revenue officer of Marshall & Stevens. “It affects agriculture, real estate, infrastructure, energy, technology, finance, and communities. We are hosting this forum because the most important conversations about the affects markets have on enterprise and asset values must include a clear-eyed understanding of the forces shaping them. Water scarcity is one of those forces.”
