I dont understand why water can't be taken from the sea via piping systems and purified for 3rd world countries, surely it couldn't be that expensive for all the countries to chip in together and do it. I think there must be technology advanced enough for that.

The technology has existed for years, it’ called desalination. Quite a few ships have desalination plants, cruise liners, submarines etc. Don’t know how costly a desalination plant would be on an extra large scale.

The cheaper water I would suspect is the worst in reality, because they dont spend less money on providing the water, they just pay their employee's less money in wages like every other cheap product.

We dont ship water to Africa because of many reasons I should imagine. Firstly, they probably dont have recycling centres and would have to create dumps to get rid of the plastic waste, or ship it back over. Then there will be the carbon emissions from transporting it back and forth, which harms the environment.

I once wondered why someone doesn't just take over the poor countries and build an economy there but the idea didnt go down well with my religious friend. I still don't see why they don't do it though, it would provide millions of jobs, homes, welfare, wealth. In fact the only two things I can think of that could cause problems with this idea is the health problems already epidemic in those countries and the fact that every country would fight over the land. And both AIDs and Greed lack a cure.

I very rarely buy bottled water, I dont drink the amount of water your meant to intake per day because I never find time!

Don't knock it, it is good for you if its running when he collects it. I always take fresh spring water when I'm up in the Dales. That said that's up land and not down below. It's worth looking out for dead sheep and the old odd welly boot floating around....:D

Do you mean something along the lines of Virgin Cambodia, Microsoft Senegal…perhaps even a Northern Rock Gambia :rolleyes:
 
i dont drink bottled water or the water from machines - i just dont like the taste and for some reason it makes my mouth feel dry - i know water doesnt really have a taste but i would rather have good old tap water - from being brought up on cooperation pop i guess - thanks mum x

does that mean having children? Stop speaking American ;) I intend to adopt a child of every colour like angelina jolie. So technically that would be no wouldn't it?

Is that what you are asking me :D

I'd go for Virgin Cambodia.

God you people are sooo unimaginative, why doesn't anyone suggest anything spontaneous and outside the box for once! Wild ideas are fun, and lets face it, there isn't enough people thinking of 'solutions' for the 3rd world, so wild ideas are better than no idea.

Would rather leave the plight of the 3rd world to virgin or microsoft than bono and bob geldof.
 
Yes I do drink bottled but only when the tap is not about. Like in the car or if staying away from home. I often find hotel water tastes like rats pee.
 
was one place in london where they have a "Water Menu" (claridges i think) 32 differant waters on menu, the most expensive was £9 a bottle, was sent to experts for analysis along with tap water n none of em could tell the differance, knew there was some real dummies about, but £9 a bottle.:eek:

Well womens magasines often have found cheap outfits that look really alike the designer ones so that us ladies can have the top fashions too within our budget. It's only material at the end of the day and a name to it that puts the price up. Its probably just the same with the water right? People are always willing to pay more expensive amounts for a name, besides, some people just have too much money to know what to do with it.
