French term or phrase: l'eau ca coule de source
Und nochmal suche ich eine schöne Wendung:

Dans les villes du Nord, l’eau ça coule de
source !
Dans les villes de Suisse, il te suffit d’ouvrir un robinet pour avoir de l’eau potable et abondante.
Pourtant, l’eau douce ne représente que 3% de toute l’eau de la planète.
Tu consommes aujourd'hui chaque jour 180 litres d’eau potable. Il y a 100 ans, tu n'aurais consommé
que 20 litres ! Dans un pays pauvre, ce chiffre de 20 litres est toujours d’actualité en 2007.

Explanation:
Il est trop évident que l'eau coule d'une source pour se donner la peine de l'écrire ! Je pense que l'auteur a voulu dire ici qu'il était particulièrement facile de se procurer de l'eau dans le Nord.
