    So you just missed the part where not all parties are likely to adopt burdensome practices if they can get away with it? What happens if two parties decide not to dump industrial waste in the drinking party and a third party who’s further upstream realizes that dumping industrial waste in the drinking water doesn’t hurt them, is easy to dispose of in that way, only impacts parties they don’t have agreements with downstream, and they just don’t care?
