Ginnie Springs Bottled water update

[cpace]

I am not sure that I want to put water quality into the hands of the private sector.

And we trust the current administration??

People who have access to drinkable water from the tap should not be drinking bottled water anyway!

Yeah, in the previous thread someone pointed out that plastic bottles may be a comparable threat to the environment.

It is all about MFLs. Minimum flows and levels:

The more money and lobbyists you have, the lower the MFL bar will be. The water management districts will keep "revisiting" MFLs during WUP (water use permit) reviews until the rivers are dry.

Just like that we always get back to the same issue.

Follow the $$$

Where I live, Nestle even runs TV commercials touting their environmental stuardship track record. Ironically, one line of script in their commercial is:

"At Nestle, we don't take any more water than mother nature provides."

So, by that, I assume they mean all of it.....

Stewardship....

Big problems will require many points of attack and as @greeniguana pointed out Stewardship will play a major role.
