THERE ARE MORE EXPENSIVE WAYS TO CONSERVE WATER THAN PLASTIC RESERVOIR BALLS !

Last summer, Los Angeles released a much-televised  mat of  floating black balls atop its chlorinated  reservoirs to reduce evaporation, and allay fears of carcinogenic bromate formation. But what began with the glint of a floating crystal model ended up looking like a magnified  mass of frog spawn when the balls sprouted a coat of green slime in a fiasco that necessitated their quiet removal.

While it saved an inconsequential amount of water-- barely a hundred acre-feet, and reduced bromate levels by only parts per trillion, the $36,000,000 experiment created a malodorous photochemical brew that released tons of toxic organochlorine compounds into LA's drinking water. Still, things could have gone worse economically had the SoCal water Solon tried quenching the city's thirst with these halogen-free quality products:

   ACQUA DI CRISTALLO TRIBUTO A MODIGLIANI- $60,000 PER 750 ML:

"Acqua di Cristallo Tributo a Modigliani is the world most expensive bottled water. This not only satisfies thirst but also empty the pocket because of high price. It basically belongs to France. The bottle of this drink is very unique and expensive as it is made up of 24 karat gold. Bottles of this drink come in a leather pouch. The drink inside it also contains 5 milligrams of gold dust which is very different from all other brands of drink. It is not affordable by everyone; only status conscious people purchase it."

KONA NIGARI WATER- $402 PER 750 ML:

"This drink is made and sold in Japan. It has many qualities and benefits like it reduces weight, stress and improve skin color as well. The main source of water is mostly desalinated sea water which is collected from the deep sea. It is expensive but also provides many benefits so it can be afforded due to different benefits. The bottle is very simple not much stylish and attractive

BLING – $40 PER 750ML:

As its name shows Bling and has much shiny jewelry on it to satisfy the name and make it attractive. The bottles are usually made up of crystals. Bottles are closed with a cork like of champagne. When opened it is very fresh as well as very pure. This company believes that one day people will use Bling on their victory and special occasions instead of champagne. It is an expensive drink so not affordable by everyone."

AQUA DECO -$12 PER 750ML:

"After hearing the name Deco people think about decorations. That is completely shown by the bottle which is made up with very unique and attractive design. Its bottle more looks like a perfume bottle rather than bottled drink. It has not only an attractive style but also very well in taste. Its huge achievement is this drink brand won an award called Best spring water. This drink is basically from Canada. The main source of it is from natural springs which show the purity of the drink. This is also very expensive drink brand so cannot be affordable by everyone. "
