Isn’t it ironic? But surely it would be for the greater good to take away one of their few sources of income as well as about their only natural resource. Incidentally do you know what happens to bottled water? Mostly it gets drunk by people. After it is treated by workers paid to bottle and distribute it. (Are they the greedy bastards? I’m still not clear on that.) Whereas the vast majority of water is treated to potable standards and then used to do laundry and water lawns and flush toilets. whatever isn’t used for industrial or agricultural purposes. So who is wasting this water again?
