Royte's in-depth look at water and the water industry is eye-opening and interesting. It also makes me glad to live in an area served by Portland's Bull Run reservoir. Royte leaves us with no answers, just an array of variously weighted choices. The writing is good, the flow a little discursive and meandering. Still, recommended for people interested in water and mega-corporations and pipes and the like. I had no idea that Nestlé owned so many of the bottled water labels. Ick.
