In many places hoarding the water that falls in your property is prohibited. Nestle is far from original in going down that road.
- inDigiNeous 10y agoSure, but is that a right thing to outlaw ? I don't think so. We should have access to basic needs like water, food and healthcare. We can do that, it's only the greed of corporations, nations and ultimately greedy people that limits that.
- 77pt77 10y agoTotally agree. When I found that I storing the water that falls on your property might be illegal I was flabbergasted. Also all the subsoil mineral rights. A company might just demand to extract oil from your property. These things change according to jurisdiction but they are not uncommon.
- Retra 10y agoThat's so Joe Schmo doesn't sue the company across the street from drilling into an oil reserve that happens to extend under his property. You can't really extract underground resources while respecting above-ground property lines, especially when you're talking about liquids or gasses. It's not like they can demolish your house and build a pump there just because you don't own what's under it.
