Closer to source = less transport = fewer emissions and lower transport cost. When flying ex-Australia, do you really need a bottle of Evian transported all the way from France? IME, 'Premium' water, like Evian and Fiji Water, is really overhyped - I presume they're only slightly 'healthier' than your average bottle of Bonaqua.
