“I have always loved the outdoors and am fascinated by natural systems and features…To make a living doing it? What could be better?”

Tom Brennan
Natural Resource Manager
Nestlé Waters North America

Long-term monitoring is the hallmark of the company’s commitment to keeping springs renewable through scientific measures. An advanced environmental monitoring network provides critically important information about the condition of the aquifer, wetlands, stream flows, aquatic life, precipitation levels and more. The data we collect on an ongoing basis, both manually and electronically, is entered into site-specific databases to meticulously manage our spring resources— now and in the future.

People sometimes ask: Will you use up the water and leave? No. Our springs are vital to our business. We use advanced scientific monitoring to properly manage them.

We manage each spring for sustainability.  Some have been in use for decades. Not only is this the right thing to do for the environment, it is also the fiscally responsible way to operate.

Our Natural Resource Managers think well beyond today. They are dedicated to long-term, sustainable spring water use. Experienced in geology and hydrogeology, these experts turn their knowledge (and their passion) into insurance—for the health and preservation of our spring sources; the good of the environment and surrounding communities; and vitality of native plants and wildlife. Spend some time during the course of a week with a Natural Resource Manager, the guardians of our company’s water resource management.
