Bottled water companies able to continue in drought stricken California
Submitted by paula on Sun, 04/12/2015 - 2:27pm
California's in the middle of an epic drought -- but that hasn't stopped bottled water production in the state. Even as residents face mandatory cutbacks and fields lie fallow, companies continue pumping hundreds of millions of gallons of water every year into plastic bottles -- sometimes straight from a municipal water supply.
With Americans increasing their bottled water consumption by 50% in the past 10 years there has been a lot of criticism of the consumers and companies in recent weeks.
