Backlash is growing over where the world's top bottled water producer gets its supplies. Nestlé collects millions of gallons a year from springs in Southern California, an area prone to drought.

As the company tries to meet the rising demand, activists are voicing their concern.

In the San Bernardino Mountains outside Los Angeles, an intricate maze of pipes collects and funnels tens of millions of gallons of water each year, CBS News correspondent Mireya Villareal reports.

It's the original source for Nestlé's Arrowhead water, but the steep terrain, covered in thick brush is only easily accessible by helicopter.
