Response:
The bottled water industry is causing a negative impact on the Himalayan region. The increasing demand for bottled water is leading to over-extraction, pollution, and disruption of the fragile ecosystem in the region. This not only affects the local communities but also threatens the long-term sustainability of the water resources in the area. Therefore, it is crucial to find alternative and sustainable solutions to meet the demand for clean drinking water while preserving the environment and the local communities’ well-being.
