Most of the Bottled Water are Filtered From Municipal Water

Fresh water reserves are very limited and the combination of overpopulation and rising sea levels increase the salinity of groundwater.
Compounding the supply problem, fresh water reserves are continually being degraded by air pollution, agricultural run-off and contamination from
wastewater. Sadly, our fresh water reserves are not expandable and must be shared among an ever growing global population. Competition for resources, rising water quality expectations and environmental regulation are combining to stimulate demand for better conservation strategies and more effective treatment processes. Quality standards for bottled and municipal waters are similar.

Today, nearly 70 percent of the worlds fresh water reserves are in the Antarctic region and protection and conservation of this reserve has been identified as a global priority by environmentalists. Approximately 80% of the world's population lives in the Eastern Hemisphere, while about 80% of the earth's fresh water reserves are found in the Western Hemisphere. Water, in both quantity and quality, is inextricably linked to public health.
It must be realised that water is a key component of the ecosystem, a natural resource and a public good. We can't know if we'll organize ourselves
and educate and mobilize the public in time to keep the crucible of life on our blue marble planet from becoming a dead sea.

It is estimated that total consumer expenditures for bottled water are approximately $100 billion per year—a vast sum that both indicates
consumers are willing to pay for convenient and reliable drinking water and that society has the resources to make comparable expenditures to provide far greater quantities of water for far less money by investing in reliable domestic supplies.

There are detrimental environmental impacts at every stage of the life of a bottle of water, from manufacturing the plastic bottles, to pumping and
bottling the water, to shipping it to consumers, to eventual disposing of the bottles, and sales of bottled water are increasing at nearly 10% a year.
While Americans with annual incomes of $60,000 per year or more are about 35 percent more likely than those of lesser means to buy bottled water,
the purchasers of bottled water are hardly limited to high income yuppies. As far as we are concerned tap water and bottled water are the same, so you
might as well have it free from the tap. You can make your water safer and cleaner for less than a penny per gallon using the most advanced water filters!
