Queensland school runs out of water as commercial bottlers harvest local supplies

Parents have been told to consider keeping Tamborine Mountain state school students at home, while trucks take local water to bottling plant

So. Coca Cola has drained an entire fucking mountain dry and the local authorities are like, "but it's leeegaaalll..." And citing a study that's either out of date or funded by Coca Cola.

Business should have no business conducting business as usual during a fucking crisis. End of.

The area under irrigation in Maharashtra is pathetic. Just inching towards 15 per cent of crop land. The many hundreds of crores spent in Maharashtra on relief and on irrigation over the years have not led to any appreciable rise in land under irrigation. The water is cornered by the rich and the strong. Governments kid themselves that by throwing money at such regions, the small fish, who have big votes, can be pacified. In reality, lion's share of funds going there is again appropriated by the powerful. And irrigation water? About two per cent of farmers in the state use around 70 per cent of it.

Drought is, beyond question, among the more serious problems this country faces. Drought relief, almost equally beyond question, is rural India's biggest growth industry. Often, there is little relation between the two. Relief can go to regions that get lots of rainfall. Even where it goes to scarcity areas, those most in need seldom benefit from it. The poor in such regions understand this. That's why some of them call drought relief teesra fasl (the third crop). Only, they are not the ones who harvest it.
