This article is from 2013. This wasn't the first time Nestle pushed this angle.

At the second World Water Forum [2000], Nestlé and other corporations persuaded the World Water Council to change its statement so as to reduce access to drinking water from a "right" to a "need." Nestlé chairman and former CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe stated that "access to water should not be a public right." Nestlé continues to take control of aquifers and bottle their water for profit.[101] Peter Brabeck-Letmathe later changed his statement.[102]

This has been a long time coming, and right now, the Western US is feeling it slow deep and hard.

"fix your own water supply with the technology you don't want to have to buy" Should be our statement to all countries. Canada First! It's our fucking water!
