Overview

The company returned in 1993 Each bottling plants extracts up to 1.5m
liters of water everyday from the ground. It takes nine liters of clean water to
manufacture a liter of Coke. In 2000 Coca-Cola opened a plant at
Plachimada, a village in Kerala to produce 1.2m liters of coke every day.
The conditional license granted by the local Panchayat authorized the use of motorized pumps
But the company drilled more than six wells & illegally installed high-powered electric pumps to extract millions of liters of pure water.
The level of the water table fell from 45 to 150 meters below the surface.
The company started dumping waste outside causing a serious health hazard.
The court gave Coca-Cola a notice to cease water extraction
The theft of water was not only limited to kerala

Jaipur. Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood. Coca-Cola started its bottling operations in
Kala Dera in 2004, and within a year, the community started to notice a rapid decline in groundwater levels.
