California water officials have moved to stop Nestlé from siphoning millions of gallons of water out of California’s San Bernardino forest, which it bottles and sells as Arrowhead brand water, as drought conditions worsen across the state.
The draft cease-and-desist order, which still requires approval from the California Water Resources Control Board, is the latest development in a protracted battle between the bottled water company and local environmentalists, who for years have accused Nestlé of draining water supplies at the expense of local communities and ecosystems.
Nestlé has maintained that its rights to California spring water dates back to 1865. But a 2017 investigation found that Nestlé was taking far more than its share. Last year the company drew out about 58 million gallons, far surpassing the 2.3 million gallons per year it could validly claim.
Nestlé has sucked up, on average, 25 times as much water as it may have a right to, according to the Story of Stuff Project, an environmental group that has been fighting to stop the bottled water company’s pumping in California for years.

what is it with the lazy eye on these "titans" of business?
Peter suggested that the idea of declaring water a public right was "extreme." He said, "Water is the most important raw material we have today in the world. It's a question of whether we should privatize the normal water supply for the population". He added that people have two types of opinions on the issue. One states that water should be declared a public right, an "extreme solution"; however, the other view says it "should have a market value" like any other food. He added that he believes in the latter opinion. However, after facing pushback in 2013, Nestle released a new statement, describing Peter's previous statement as being taken "out of context."
