Asshole.
If I dig a well on my property then it is my water.
A person has a right to life, not the materials that sustain life. One must make, find, earn or buy those things that sustain life.
What right have you to demand that someone pump out and pipe water to you? Who pays for that infrastructure? Who pays for its maintenance? You think you have a right to other people's materials and labor?
To anyone with a problem with what the Nestle CEO said: where's your water well?
The infrastructure and maintenance is paid for by tax money, not by Nestle. The materials and labor to put in the infrastructure was paid for by tax money, not by Nestle. The water you use in your home is paid for by you and brought to your home by tax money, not by Nestle. The water was / is in the ground or taken from a river. Nestle did not create the water in some chem lab or factory. Nestle CEO nor any other company has a claim to the water.
Did the Nestle CEO said he had a claim to the water? Did he claim that he had a right to appropriate already built facilities and infrastructure? What are you arguing here?The infrastructure and maintenance is paid for by tax money, not by Nestle. The materials and labor to put in the infrastructure was paid for by tax money, not by Nestle. The water you use in your home is paid for by you and brought to your home by tax money, not by Nestle. The water was / is in the ground or taken from a river.

Do you believe water is a basic human right? According to Nestlé CEO water is a foodstuff that should be privatized, not a human right. Nestlé CEO Peter Brabeck says that with the global population rising water is not a public right, but a resource that should be managed by businessmen. Please do share your thoughts.

I tend to agree with this, it all depends on a more strict clarification of exactly what he meant by "right". He did a piss-poor job of conveying his thoughts, IMO.It is, but it would be fair that you allow others to have access to your water. This, I think, is what the CEO was alluding to...creating markets so that the fair price for water could be determined.
Not necessarily...Many times in various places, I've questioned the right to patent a naturally occuring substance. This is along a similar vein.
Patenting/owning the right to method of extraction, refining and providing that substance to the general public is correct. But to privately owning the right to the actual substance is not.
Water is a necessary fluid to sustain life. If rain falls on property that I own, it is therefore mine to do with as I see fit, share or not.
In some areas it is, but in most areas it is from private wells or even private companies who manage water infrastructure. Broaden your perception a bit.
Personally, I agree with you. Wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, many states do not......which I whole-heartedly disagree with. I wouldn't live in a State with such laws.
I use rainbarrels for water collection for my gardens instead of my well water. Saves electricity, and less minerals filtering into it via ground percolation (lime build up) which is better for the plants, and in the long run, me.
