1) I wasn't very surprised that there was all this water being stolen from streams theoretically, but I was shocked by the amount of water and the certain companies doing it. I didn't see Nestle being one of the main thefts of the water, Coca Cola I could see as well as Pepsi. To see all the damage and impacts from these companies on streams and lakes made me feel kind of mad, mainly because if it keeps up and nothing is done to slow it down then one day some places that people love to visit could be all out of water. I agree on whats being done to slow it and stop it, but I don't really agree with what is being done by the companies, yeah they need water to make their drinks, but if they aren't healthy drinks then why take the water and waste by turning it into something unhealthy.
2) In recent years in New Zealand there have been quite a bit more water pollution. An increase in dairy farming is linked to an increase in water pollution, and siltation due to land clearance has affected lakes, rivers, caves and bays. There are more than 800 water quality monitoring sites around New Zealand that are regularly sampled to help protect and restore the polluted water to healthy clean water.
