Interesting article in the Freep about a compromise agreement reached by Ice Mountain water (a branch of Nestle) and a local environment group concerning the amount of ground water pumped by Nestle. Not so much for the details of the deal (218 gallons per minute - 313,920 gallons per day - still sounds like a lot of water to me!) but for the idea that disputes of this kind can make progress (if not achieve resolution) by a series of compromises, rather than by one side or the other winning a total and absolute victory.
