The Obama administration needs to speak out against this policy. Water is a resource, not a commodity. Access to water is a right, not a privilege. The US has some of the most stringent standards for drinking water, and yet we glorify bottled water that comes from the same place as our tap water. Water bottling companies need to tell us where their water is from, and end the use of misleading names like "Mountain Spring." The government needs to protect our nation's dwindling groundwater supplies by penalizing overdraw and barring shipping of water "products" over state lines.
