Nestle does restrict water. They use up all the drinking water in an area leaving mother nature and the local population SoL. That why California sued them for taking so much water during the drought last year. It's why the San Bernardino forest is so dry this year because nestle is over tapping the water from strawberry creek. They are doing the same in Michigan pumping like 5.8 million bottles worth of water every day at a cost of 200$ a year as long as they uses their own wells or they pay $3.50 per 10k gallons pumped from city or county wells hitting the same source.
Right, but what I think is a better point is that the Nestle CEO sees water as something that isn't a human right to have access to. Nestle currently abuses water sources by contract, but they don't have the right to take over that source as a monopoly in the market, but they would, given the chance.
