Unit 5- Agriculture

Summary

Ironically a lot of the water we drink from big water bottle or water selling corporations comes from the driest sources. One main source is California, which is in its third driest year. The water obtained from California is eighty percent used for agriculture with farming and watering but the rest we use to drink. According to the companies it is not required for them to reveal their water sources so most water drinkers do not realize they are taking water from drought ridden countries. 

Insight

People in the water business chose to get their water from California for many reasons other than just to drink California dry. one reason California water is used is because old businesses have been there for many many years and continue to work. Also California doesn't have a groundwater regulation policy so water that companies find they can just have. And because big bottling companies do no thane to reveal their sources people just keep on drinking California dry.
