DENVER, Sept. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Two Rivers Water Company (OTC QB: TURV) (http://www.2riverswater.com), today announced that the water development and farmland irrigation asset company was highlighted in an analysis by NEWSMAX, an independent online news site with an estimated 4 million monthly viewership. (Analysis found here: http://bit.ly/ncrYFt)  The Chairman and CEO of Two Rivers Water Company, John McKowen, was quoted in regards to a recent rise in Chinese interest in U.S. corn due to the growing need for food. Mr. McKowen stated, "The greatest fear of the Communist Party of China is a food shortage because although a worker will tolerate a smaller apartment, he becomes a barbarian at the gate if his child is starving."

The analysis concluded that American economic interests may benefit from the food shortage. Two Rivers Water Company was highlighted for the belief that American farming is the answer to Chinese food needs. The piece also concluded recent droughts, a growing urban-centric populace and an increase in Chinese manufacturing over agriculture were the causes for food shortages and the acquisition of corn.

The piece also highlighted several Chinese acquisition and economic numbers regarding interest in U.S. corn:

• China purchased 540,000 metric tons of Corn as of Aug. 31 for internal uses.
• China is expected to purchase another 300,000 metric tons slated for unknown destinations.
• The UN Food and Agriculture Organization estimates China may purchase 5 million metric tons of corn by the end of 2011.
• Food prices rose 14.8 percent in July in China.
