Yes, Jared’s point is excellent – spring water is a public resource that adds to the water available to us and to nature. If it is pumped out of the ground and bottled, the companies profit at the expense of the common good. The most extreme example is the Ein Gedi bottled water which comes from the desert, and takes priority over the needs of the nature reserve – when there is a water shortage, the bottling plant gets its full share, while the nature reserves get less.
Even so, some of the bottled water comes from municipal water supplies, and is sold in bottles (at 1000 times the price) after treatment and filtration.

Daniel, thank you so much for this wonderfully clear and concise explanation of the dire, yet survivable, crisis we find ourselves in. I definitely plan to forward this link! It might also be worth emphasizing that the mineral water bottling plants in Israel which you mentioned are drawing water from the same natural sources that supply our tap water, so if we are at all concerned about the rising salinity of our precious lake and aquifers, we must convince folks to think twice about their drinking habits.

Daniel, I think this is something that everyone who lives in Israel or is concerned about Israel should read. Bravo.
