That is all covered by the environmental report, as it should be: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/deq/deq-dwmad-eh-swpu-FinalMemo_619293_7.pdf http://www.michigan.gov/documents/deq/deq-dwmad-eh-swpu-Fina... 4) The supply potential of the water source, considering quantity, quality, and reliability and safe yield of hydrologically interconnected water sources; Application materials, extensive evaluation and consideration by staff, along with experience with the aquifer in the area, lead staff to conclude that the aquifer can sustain the proposed withdrawal without deleterious effects to the dependent resources. The ruckus and commotion by the public is just pointless and useless activism.

If you can't understand why there's so much ruckus and commotion by the public you shouldn't be calling it pointless or useless. People are angry because of the disaster that was Flint. When government officials refuse to answer for large-scale disasters, people resort to other outlets and places to direct their anger. People are angry because they see corporations swooping in to bottle and sell more water in the same state where those people are suffering due to greed and failure.

Sure, and the two issues are disconnected. Not only that, but the protests and anger actually cause a loss of value to society and to the state. And saying that this protest is pointless and useless doesn't mean I don't sympathize with those suffering at Flint.

  Flint is not even close to the only issue. Locals are aware of the damage Nestle has already caused to the local ecosystem by dropping the water supply. There is also much worry that legal draw limits were not set with that area's situation in mind, but Nestle is pointing to the legal rate and saying everything will be okay.
