www.bottledwaterweb.com has more details about these waters and their corporate owner
in india, 69 per cent of the people do not have access to sanitary services
the track is 182 bpm because it takes 182,000 litres of water to make one ton of steel
sanitation coverage is 53% in bangladesh, so the track is 5’30’ long

how about we turn off public ornamental fountains until the rest of the world has clean drinking water and sanitation?
That’s a song with a serious story.
