 Water: bottled, polluted, refined, flavoured, splashed, contaminated, frolicked in, urinated in, precipitated, desalinised, molecularly separated and re-bonded. Commoditised. Water is a primary resource. Yet many maintain expectations for clean, picturesque water-sources for our entertainment, while paying ever increasing amounts for 'pure' bottles to consume, discard and forget.
