closeCost of delivering water
Posted by JamesPTrevelyan on 20 Mar 2014 at 23:57 GMT
In your article you claimed that delivering a 20 litre bottle of water to a school was only about $0.50 per student per year. Can you provide detailed substantiation for that, please? Normally, such bottles from commercial vendors cost around $1.20-$1.50 delivered (allowing for return of empty container) or about $150 per year for a daily delivery on every school day. Further, in hot weather, children need more than half a litre for a typical school day. Can you provide more details, please.
