From a Contributor, 9 March 15 The real reason Nestle wants in on this source is because all fresh surface water on this planet has become polluted with tritium (radioactive hydrogen) from nuclear explosions, and nuclear reactors which leak it all the time.

Nuclear facilities have no known method of containing and managing tritium Nuclear accidents like at Fukushima, Chernobyl, TMI etc are still poisoning the planet with escaping tritium. The do not know how to effectively contain it nor can our municipal water treatment plans filter tritium, now radioactive water, out of the water.

Nestle is looking to corner the ground water because it is relatively tritium free. I think it should be given free to all pregnant mothers everywhere because tritium is teratogenic.

Outrage boils over as B.C. government plans to sell groundwater for $2.25 per million litres  BY DAN FUMANO, THE PROVINCE MARCH 8, 2015 

More than 82,000 people have signed a petition against the government’s plans to sell B.C.’s water for $2.25 per million litres.

“It is outrageous,” says the online petition from SumOfUs.org, that corporations can buy water “for next to nothing.”

B.C.’s Water Sustainability Act (WSA), which comes into effect next January and replaces the province’s century-old water legislation, has been heralded as a major step forward. But politicians and experts are raising doubts over whether the newly announced water fees may be too low to cover the cost of the program, asking if the act simply won’t be implemented properly, or if taxpayers could end up picking up the bill.

Last month, the government unveiled the new water pricing structure, which will include, for the first time in B.C.’s history, groundwater being regulated and subject to fees and rentals.

Critics said that, while it’s a step in the right direction, the prices are still not close to capturing the resource’s value….

water rates for industrial users, which are a fraction of what some provinces charge, are “like a giveaway” to corporations, critics say……http://www.leaderpost.com/news/Outrage+boils+over+plans+sell+groundwater+million+litres/10865416/story.html
