Actually rivers are not pure as they are the toilet for animals (which you are NOT suppose to drink from while hiking).
Most natural water has bacteria, or minerals (some heavy metals from mining run off) or salt.
There a a few springs that filter thru rock that are close but little water is just H2O.

Natural water purity usually varies on the order of single miles - so unless it's a tiny place like Monaco or Luxembourg or the Vatican, there will be places with good water and bad water. While backpacking, I've found streams that went from clear to muddy and back to clear in only a few hundred yards. Almost every country has at least one really pure lake and one stream that runs through a cow pasture. So while it may be true that Vellamo bottles very pure water, that tells you something about *the one spring/stream/well* they use, and almost nothing about the water in the rest of Finland - maybe they use that one spring because all the rest of the water in Finland has reindeer poop in it. Similarly, "purest" doesn't mean much in tap water either - I don't think anybody keeps accurate statistics. In most parts of the world, the question isn't "is it purest", but "will it kill you if you drink it because of microbes and toxins". So usually they keep track of numbers like "percent of population with access to safe drinking water", and don't bother recording the difference between "pure enough to drink safely" and "really pure". Incidentally, "purest" water is almost certainly *not* "most drinkable" - it turns out that you really *do* want small amounts of mineral in there to add some flavor. If you don't believe me, get some "distilled water", which is about as pure as it can get after the distilling process, and taste it. It will taste flat and dull because there's no minerals in it.

Down in some glacier or ice field that was formed years ago in a period of low containment. It also had to be sealed off by nature so as not to get fouled by run-off etc

Maybe glaciers or clouds. Nature does not favor pure anything though. Things are always in flux.
