Nestle Plant Could Conflict With Guelph's Future Water Needs

As Doidge et al. illustrate, the historical background of Flint City’s drinking water supply emanated from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. This was through a contractual basis for over three decades, and its main source of water was Lake Huron. The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department is an extensive system encompassing almost 1,080 square-miles, and provides to more than two fifths of the Michigan State population. In the year 2000 alone, the system covered 11,000 miles of water channels with a storage volume of about 360 million gallons. It supplied water to nearly four million people in Detroit and its metropolitan locale.

The Court ruled in favor of the appellant, and the decision is described as follows:

Water governance in this case is not limited to even the state of Georgia’s government to handle despite most of the system traveling through Georgia. Controversy arises

In the fourth chapter, “Fouling Our Own Nests,” of Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What to do About It, Robert Glennon discusses the dangers of water contamination that plague many parts of the United States. His main claim that water pollution requires the help of the entire population stems from an unmentioned warrant: contaminating the national water supply with chemicals from individual communities and industries is detrimental to American society. In order to strengthen his argument, Glennon showcases the impacts of local contamination issues on larger populations and utilizes quantitatively intimidating statistics to solidify his position and inspire his readers to fight for better water regulation.

Her article, “Elevated Blood Levels in Children Associated with the Flint Drinking Water Crisis: A Spatial Analysis of Risk and Public Health Response,” describes the water issue revolving around Flint for decades. It has only recently begun to get better. Lead was found, as well as bacteria, in the Flint water (283-284). Mona wrote, “Increased lead poisoning rates have profound implications for the life course potential of an entire cohort of Flint children already rattled with toxic stress contributors (e.g, poverty, violence, unemployment, food insecurity)” (286). Mona also concluded that, “As in many urban areas with high levels of socio-economic disadvantage and minority populations, we found a preexisting disparity in lead poisoning” (286). Issues have been done to prevent the Flint crisis, and it has gone down over the past thirty years, however, “A once-celebrated cost-cutting move for an economically distressed city, the water source change has now wrought untold economic, population health, and geo-political burdens”(288). Much like the HDR’s theories, the Flint Water Crisis also appeals to the wealthy class. In any other community, primarily wealthy, money can be provided to prevent future water issues.

Flint is facing a crisis due to the fact that the citizens are in danger. The water is affecting the lives of the people living there, so they can’t drink it. As a result of this, it is hard for them to get the clean water they need. As I already explained before,

Essentially, this excerpt changed my entire perception of the city of Lincoln, Nebraska. Before I read this, I pictured present-day Lincoln as a nearly universally Caucasian farming city with very little diversity. After this article, I realize that while this may have been true at one point in Lincoln’s history, the city is now extremely diverse, with immigrants coming from all over the world. I had no idea that this metamorphosis has taken place over the past two decades and this knowledge totally changes my perception of the city and state as a whole.

At the start of the film, we learn about a small town in Maine whose water supply was quietly taken over by Nestle. Nestle could take as much of the water as they wanted for free, and then could package it and sell back to the people of Maine for a thousand times more than the price of tap water. The company eventually got so greedy, that it took sole control of the town’s water supply, and switched the municipal water

Statistically speaking Canada’s water consumption levels are very high. “Canada owns about 9% of the world’s freshwater while only having 1% of the world’s population. An average Canadian uses about 1600 cubic meters of water yearly, this is double how much the French use and 8 times the world average.” We as

Groundwater is one of the hidden treasures of British Columbia as it is the primary water source for residences, agriculture and industries. Approximately more than 25% of the province’s population is estimated to rely on groundwater for daily use (OAGBC Groundwater Report 8, 2010). Although groundwater significantly contributes to the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem, it is also easily depleted or contaminated. Hence it is one of the most vulnerable resources and must be used sustainably in order to preserve it for both current and future generations. Presently, groundwater extraction, use and diverserion in British Columbia (B.C.) is largely unregulated (Bazdikian, 2011; Whitworth, 2008; Christensen 2007) which threatens regional economic well-being and ecosystem viability. And with an increasing demand on groundwater resources, an appropriate framework to manage it sustainably is direly required. Thus, this paper aims to provide information on British Columbia’s groundwater resource management and issues, factoring the social, economic and environmental aspects, and evaluating the policy options to regulate groundwater in B.C. Further, it analyzes governmental measures towards sustainable groundwater resource management and provides possible policy recommendations based on existing research.
