I have two very deep…

   I have two very deep concerns for rapid depletion of our natural water resources:

  1) large corporations are paying very little if anything at all to take vast amounts of water from our lakes and other water natural water sources, in particular Nestle's, then selling it bottled for enormous profits. Nestle's CEO has publicly declared that water is not a human right and no one is entitled to it. https://anewkindofhuman.com/nestles-ceo-water-not-human-right/      These greedy unethical companies must be stopped.

  2) Housing and business construction and developments need to have more stringent restrictions implemented to keep them a safer longer distance away from our water resources and wildlife habitat, without exceptions. In recent years I have witnessed a decline of natural green space and encroachment on nature preserves fringe areas and proximity of building construction and strip mining too close to water moraines. One example is the Chinese investment company that was permitted to purchase a green space and part of a water moraine near Guelph, Ontario to do strip mining. There are too many incidents to list here, but an irrevocable zoning restriction must be set and enforced by law to protect our water and wildlife preservation areas for generations to come.

  Both 1) and 2) address our resources being compromised for corporate monetary gain in recent times and if we continue at this rate of decline, we are not going to have a sufficient pure water supply in the very near future.
