Here is the reality: In large parts of the world, very high quality drinking water is available in large, reusable jars and bottles, for a cheap price which poor people can afford. While the tap water ranges from undrinkable to bad tasting. Now you might think that it is outrageous that they buy and drink this water, that they don't deserve it and should wait for plumbing or better government water treatment. That they should be denied one of the basics of life in the holy name of hacker efficiency. Do you think they give a fuck about what you think? You are literally arguing to take away people's good drinking water because they live somewhere with lacking infrastructure. > If someone can figure out to 'very accessibly' deliver bottled water from hundreds of miles away to your home, why wouldn't they be able to 'very accessibly' deliver locally sourced water to your home? Because locally sourced water is not of the same quality or even drinkable many times. A river or a spring is in a fixed place geographically and not everybody can live on top of it. If you lived an hour or two from a large spring with high quality water, you wouldn't want to drink foul-tasting water from the tap or try to dig a well for some brackish water. > And if you have to go from your home to a distribution center for those bottles, how is that better than the proverbial village well? They deliver it to your door and with your permission they will cary the jars into your home and put them wherever you tell them to.
