Water

The origin of all types of water

What are the differences between mineral water and other types of water? 

Mineral water and spring water derives from deep water. In contrast, tap water (also known as municipal water), is often a mixture of surface and groundwater.

1. Mineral Water

- Deep subterranean reservoirs
- Pure verified sources
- Nutritional properties
- Contains minerals
- Bottled at source
- Internationally regulated

2. Spring Water

- Subterranean water resources
- Sources do not have to be verified as pure
- Does not have to contain a constant amount of minerals
- Can be bottled from multiple sources
- Limited official regulations

2a. Artesian Water

- A specific type of free-flowing spring water

3. Tap Water

- Mostly derived from ground and/or surface waters (lakes, dams, bank filtrated, desalination)
- Usually processed before it is suitable for consumption
- Multiple treatment procedures and chemical ingredients are allowed during processing

4. Table Water

- Combination of water from different sources (e.g. tap water)
- Can have other ingredients added (e.g. sodium)
- Can be produced and bottled everywhere
- May also be served using a tap system
- Limited official regulations
