与詹姆斯•G•沃克曼合著了即将出版的《水权VS水资源的三个悖论》一书，并联合创办了SmartMarkets 有限责任公司，这是一个以供水企业为基础的网上系统，他们声称这可以在世界各地的城市掀起一场广泛的节水节能竞赛。
James G Workman and Montgomery F Simus are co-authors of the forthcoming book “H2Ownership vs The Three Paradoxes of Water” and co-founders of SmartMarkets LLC, an online, utility-based system that they say could unleash a widespread, egalitarian race to conserve water and energy in cities worldwide.
詹姆斯•沃克曼和蒙哥马利•赛蒙斯认为，水资源短缺不仅限制着中国的经济增长以及城市化进程，还使危机进一步加剧。他们分四部分对水资源的价值这个在保护水资源过程中需要克服的第一个挑战进行了探讨。
In China, water scarcity limits growth and urbanisation escalates a crisis, say James G Workman and Montgomery F Simus. Opening a four-part series, they address the subject of value, the first conservation challenge to overcome.
詹姆斯•沃克曼和蒙哥马利•赛蒙斯认为，对于资源，如果人们仅仅是“租用”的话，那么能效措施只会增加消费总量。节约下来的水会随着整个系统新需求的涌现而消耗殆尽。
As long as people merely “rent” the resource, efficiency devices increase overall consumption, say James Workman and Montgomery Simus. Frugally conserved water is lost through new demand by the system as a whole.
詹姆斯•沃克曼和蒙哥马利•赛蒙斯指出，由于水源短缺让自来水公司的压力不断增大，节约用水让各公司的收入受损。为了提高利润、实现企业的繁荣昌盛，供水者们不得不鼓励浪费。
As scarcity puts competing stresses on utilities, water conservation erodes companies’ revenues, say James Workman and Montgomery Simus. To increase their bottom line and to thrive, providers are forced to reward waste.
在这个系列的最后一篇里，詹姆斯•沃克曼和蒙哥马利•赛蒙斯指出，可以放开带有自然垄断性的虚拟城市用水市场，鼓励节约、效率和创新。“贪欲催生绿色”，在虚拟之上存在着一条可持续的路径。
Concluding their series, James Workman and Montgomery Simus say virtual urban-water markets within natural monopolies can be unlocked, rewarding frugality, efficiency and innovation. “Greed makes green” and a sustainable path lies beyond virtue.
