The work compares two apparently different legal frameworks governing bottled water to highlight the underlying convergence of their rhetorical underpinnings. In particular, it looks at the law regulating the exploitation of water destined to bottling in India and Italy. Through these two examples this work wants to show how in both countries, which may serve as, respectively, a Global South and a Global North examples as to their position in the worldwide allocation of economic wealth and labour, the regulations treat water as a commodity focusing on the aspects concerning its commercialization by private companies.
