As parts of this nation are facing a substantial drought, large corporations, including Nestlé, continue to bottle water on federal land in those same drought stricken areas.
Even as the people of California may face the real risk of water rationing this coming year, for profit companies are pulling water from aquifers, bottling it, and selling it at prices vastly higher than typical municipal rates.
Where it is within the Federal Government's authority, we ask that the government place a moratorium on bottling operations in drought stricken areas.
