[...]To recap, in case you thought I was kidding:
There are now water bars, staffed with water sommeliers who advise on pairing water with food and read magazines that have water editors. Indeed, one may now purchase Christofle sparkling water decanters for $415.

Try to dismiss for just a moment the knowledge that roughly one billion of the world’s people lack access to fresh drinking water.
Instead, come along for the ride as we discover that Coca-Cola’s Dasani is derived from local tap water and learn why some people are willing to pay $50 a pop for water born on a mountaintop in Tennessee.

Among those also soon to be without access to fresh water: Inky employees. (And no, Tierney, you can’t use that.)
