Um....I pay $3 for 35 bottles (16.9 ounces) at Sams club for Nestle Pure Life water....My tap water sucks...That is not as much as gas. Unless you are paying almost nothing for gas, maybe I can have you fuel up my truck for me.

WE LIVE ON A PLANET THAT IS 3 FIFTHS WATER.
We're running out of water? Get a more firmer grip on reality.

They're manipulating it to end up profiting and controlling all the water on the planet. I'm probably wrong but I always read that the amount of water on the planet only changes by slight amounts, because most just recycles and changes places/forms.
If they were really that seriously concerned about the future of water, they'd build desalinization plants, and look at ways to further protect water and not dump byproducts in it.
The future is your reusable bottle and if you want water you swipe your card or wave your hand under the reader then fill your bottle up. Of course you have a limit and you have to pay. Anyone else notice how they manipulate resources to make it look like there's shortages when in the end they simply mismanage and willfully waste tons of it?
Order from chaos. Create the problem, introduce the solution, victory.

That reuters link is quite positive actually and only talks about Sau Paulo.
They mention that they have a reserve of 200 billion litres waiting to be tapped.
To me this is sensationalism.
I go into the woods all the time and NEVER carry water because I am surrounded by it everywhere.
The conspiracy to me is bottled water.
When you think about it,its more expensive than gasoline and people buy bottled water everyday not realizing they are being duped.
If I can drink from streams,creeks,swamps,lakes and rivers as well as tap water.....quit buying bottled water.
People who keep buying it are the ones who create the demand for it.
If you want it to stop...quit buying bottled water that costs more than gasoline.
The problem isn't that we are running out of water,its that people won't stop buying bottled water.

How do you figure?
Does this look like 3/5 to you?
Did you know you can't water crops with or drink salt water?
To give you an idea out of all the water on earth only 1% is usable to humans.
How does your reality look now?

No doubt Nestlé will be familiar with what comes next; they’ve had a dress rehearsal. Nine years ago Nestlé Waters was sued over allegation of false labeling. On that occasion, the Connecticut class action lawsuit took issue with the fact that Nestlé purported the water in bottles of Poland Spring came from an underground spring source deep in the woods in Maine when in fact it came from a well encircled not by nature but by parking lots. In 2003, Nestlé settled the suit for $10 million in charitable contributions and discounts.
Ne stlé Sued AGAIN For Falsely Representing Bottled Tap Water As Naturally Spring-Sourced
