Abstract

Public awareness regarding the importance of the quality and reliability of drinking water has increased the popularity of spring waters. The increasing consumption of bottled waters is just one trend where the public is buying “pure” water coming from natural springs as an alternative to traditional municipal water supply systems. Many bottled water products are labeled with “pure spring water”, “mountain spring water”, or “natural spring water”, suggesting that the term “spring water” carries a special connotation of consistently high water quality and good taste.
