Nestle Inc. alone sucks up 1.5 million gallons a day so you can buy their bottled water (Arrowhead, Poland Springs, Perrier, etc.). They pay less than $200 a year for this privilege.
There's much to do. Francesca and I have joined a group here that is working to preserve and save the Springs (and locally, the Sante Fe River that they feed into). Below are amazing photos by John Moran, one of our members.
