Not directly directed at Betonov but what I never understood about the water issue is that the water isn't lost. It's not like it's used up and gone. Used water will be cleaned and released back into the water circle, water used on plants will sooner or later be released again when the plant is consumed or just by releasing humidity over the leafs etc.

So used water isn't lost water so what's the problem with water usage???

Overwhelmed capacities and (in the Alps at least), the water springs can't really be expanded to meet the increased population and/or industry and/or agriculture. And the decreasing amount of snowfall every year means that the natural reservoirs are not filled to their needed capacity in the spring.

And in the water bottle case, some water (I don't know how much really) is used as a component in plastic production and it's not really returned to nature

Unless you buy the Swedish Ramlösa. That stuff has so much chloride in it they don't recommend it to children, not to mention it smells public swimming hall.

Thanks for the warning.
Slovene Radenska and Croat Jamnica are excellent.
