There is little public good in commercial bottled water licences. Virtually no significant return accrues to communities where water is extracted. Companies pay a pitifully low license fees which go to central governments

In communities all over the world, bottled water companies have been prioritized and have continued to extract water ever in situations where food production and domestic use is undermined.

Bottled water leaves a grievous plastic trail that fills waterways and threatens wildlife.

Access to safe water is a basic human right that should not be commercialized.
