Now if you want to argue that the quality of the water up north is better—I would agree.

I was in Ketchikan Alaska last Friday 7/11. That town has the highest rainfall in the USA and delicious water.

I imagined catching rain that filtered through the spruce forests there, bottling it and selling it into San Francisco markets for $5.00@ bottle.

Same would work across the border in Canada. Hundreds of miles to the south—I was chewing on bright green spruce sprigs as I walked around Victoria the next day. Tasty stuff. I was traveling fast.

Today I bought some distilled water Norway. The tap water here in northern Virginia smells of chlorine. I put it through a brita filter and the chlorine smell goes away but the water still tastes harsh. I bought some water from Norway in the store today for $5. It has the same clear clean taste as I recall from Ketchikan.

Water quality is largely irrelevant in the absence of quantity, as you're well aware. Still, that might work as a helpful selling point...

The potential dynamics you mention are extremely interesting. Thanks again!
