Nestle is owned by its shareholders; the water is drawn from its own property (in Stanwood, Michigan, by the way; 50 miles from Lake Michigan).

So back to my question: what other resources rights should the government confiscate from private owners? How about those nasty lime stone quarries at Rogers City? The copper up in the Keweenaw? The iron in Ipsheming? The oil and gas in Isabella County? The fish that the Chippewa pull out of Lake Huron at St. Ignace?

They are not drawing water from their property. They are drawing water from presumably federal jurisdiction.

What water rights are associated from the property they own on the lake front? Do they have federal water rights or federal use permits? If they are withdrawing water where multiple water use permits are granted, if their withdrawal affects others with water use permits then they must provide remedy to the others or stop.

Remember, a corporation is not a person.

Ha ha. Funny you should bring up the unconstitutional 'state within a state' the federal government grants the indian tribes to make a point about unalienable rights for corporations. Ha ha.

Nestle is a 'private' owner now? I thought you said it had shareholders and shares were traded on the stock exchange. Nestle is a business collective, not a person.
