It could be because more than ten years ago, we do not buy distilled water since water from our faucet are quite safe. Now, almost everywhere there's a distilling station. Aside from paying the monthly water bill, one has to buy distilled water which is like an add on to ones expenses.
Sooner or later, it will indeed become scarce given that there is a growing concern on how irriversible global warming is.

Hello! Time is not far.The next generation would feel the scarcity of drinking water.And some countries would mopolise supply of drinking water to all countries like the monopoly of oil supplied by the Arab countries to cater to the needs of the world.So right from now we should think of this precious material and save water as much we can.thanx.
