Not far from the Nestle project, the battle over water conservation legislation is being depicted as a struggle between "powerful" environmental groups like the Audubon Society and small water users.

But as the article points out, passing the legislation is unlikely to affect the concerned businesses in the short run.
Michigan and the Great Lakes states generally can go on treating water as inexhaustible, as they once did the primeval forests and wildlife, or they can practice conservation and leave healthy and productive ecosystems for future generations. That's the real battle.
