I'm not saying anything, I'm suggesting that these are things that need to be taken into consideration. I pay for the water I drink, shower with, etc. In very few places is water "free." Even in the country, where water is of better quality, people still pay big money to have wells drilled/maintained plus have the water treated while it's being pumped.

We are already at a place where water is not free in most of the world. Even if the Coca-Cola's were completely banned from hoarding water, it would not change the fact that I pay a water bill every month.

Even 100, 200 years ago, water was not free. Somebody had to install a well, they had to pump the water up, they had to transport it to where it is needed. Or they had to walk down to the river every day and drag back buckets of water.

If anyone here is getting free water? please post where you live, it would be interesting to see which cities/countries provide 100% free water to their citizens.
