What struck me was that schools and some local governments are trying to prevent people from buying bottled water.  I always thought the local government was for bottled water.  There’s many issues related to water.  Locally (United States) the problem is that bottled water is worse for the environment because when it is being imported the gas causes pollution.  Also tap water is healthy and making the bottles for bottled water isn’t.  Issue with water internationally is that industries are restricting people from drinking fresh water because they have bought out that area and are making them pay for the water.  http://movies.nytimes.com/2008/09/12/movies/12flow.html?ref=movies.  This is causing the people who were drinking from these water sources to have to drink in a contaminated pond.
