Noah Hall, a Wayne State University law professor and water law expert, commented on how the Michigan Supreme Court recently ordered oral arguments in a lawsuit over alleged harm to the environment caused by a large food producer that is withdrawing groundwater from the same source used by a community for its water supply. "The issue the Supreme Court is reviewing is whether the plaintiff has standing for alleging harm," said Hall. "That is not the emotional heart of the case. The heart of the case is whether or not a company can bottle a public resource and sell it for profit."
