Bottled water destroys local water supplies

Do you drink bottled water?
Do you believe it is better for you?
Do you know where the water is coming from?
Do you care?

Watch this section of Democracy Now. At the tail end of the section, a few other brand names are called out to be questioned on the impact to the environment and people who's aquifers are drying up so water can be stored on a shelf for your luxury.

Should you be more interested in what Frack-Drilling is doing to the drinking water of citizens of Colorado and Wyoming click on the Democracy Now web page to watch the remaining time of the above episode. Petroleum equals pollution. This includes natural gas, oil, and gasoline...what are we to do?

Dang, I am in a pissy mood.

So it is better to drink pop instead of bottled water then..? People in Varanasi, India, have an opinion about that:

According to the article you referenced, there is no mention of drinking soda versus water, but it does support the negative impact of the bottled water industry on natural resources and human survival.
