The amount spent on bottled water is staggering.

The global soft drink and bottled water manufacturing industry is expected to produce revenue of $146.5 billion in 2008, with growth projected to continue at a rate of four percent, with the U.S. at its forefront, producing revenue of an estimated $168.6 billion by 2012. Purified water is currently the leading global seller, with U.S. companies dominating the field. The U.S. is the largest consumer market for water the world, followed by Mexico, China, and Brazil . Driving this growth is the global rate of consumption rising by 10 percent in 2007
