From the Tap to the Bottle: an international study of the social and material life of bottled water

水是澳大利亚的重要资源，但人们对瓶装水知之甚少。该项目将是第一个瓶装水销售、消费和处理的比较研究。它将为国家和国际了解饮用水消费方面不断变化的做法作出重大贡献。这项研究将分析瓶子相对于水龙头的上升。具体来说，在澳大利亚和其他地方，与饮用自来水相关的各种焦虑如何影响瓶装水的消费。关于瓶装水收集、流通和监管的知识将有助于就可持续供水和人人获得安全用水问题开展更广泛的辩论。

Water is a critical resource in Australia yet little is known about water in bottles. This project will be the first comparative study of bottled water marketing, consumption and disposal. It will make a significant contribution to national and international understandings of changing practices in the consumption of drinking water. The research will produce an analysis of the rise of the bottle in relation to the tap. Specifically, how various anxieties associated with drinking tap water, in Australia and elsewhere, impact on bottled water consumption. The knowledge produced about bottled water collection, circulation and regulation will contribute to wider debates about sustainable water provision and access to safe water for all.
