Groundwater:
Groundwater is water located beneath the ground surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of geologic formations. A formation of rock or soil is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water. The depth at which soil pore spaces become fully saturated with water is called the water table. Groundwater is recharged from, and eventually flows to, the surface naturally; natural discharge often occurs at springs and seeps and can form oases or wetlands. Groundwater is also often withdrawn for agricultural, municipal and industrial use by constructing and operating extraction wells. The study of the distribution and movement of groundwater is hydrogeology, also called groundwater hydrology.

Running Water:
The hydrologic cycle describes the continuous interchange of water among the oceans, atmosphere, and continents. Powered by energy from the Sun, it is a global system in which the atmosphere provides the link between the oceans and continents. The processes involved in the water cycle include precipitation, evaporation, infiltration (the movement of water into rocks or soil through cracks and pore spaces), runoff (water that flows over the land, rather than infiltrating into the ground), and transpiration (the release of water vapor to the atmosphere by plants). Running water is the single most important agent sculpturing Earth's land surface.

on your purposes i might use a solid spring water or a water from a impressive enterprise that purifies the water ......if what you're calling organic water is distilled, i could be taken aback via fact the approach is expensive and many times distilled water is bought from the druggist / chemist for scientific purposes... boiled water you're making your self....it only purifies it of risky micro organism .... even nonetheless the chemical compounds in any taken care of water, like the water in large structures, stay positioned ... the chlorine in such water will evaporate if the vessel is left open to the air, interior the kitchen - say .. and that's reported to human beings for their plant life via fact that a residue of chlorine or water softeners can destroy plant life ... xxx Scots Pines

Ground water has more minerals which tend to deposit in instantaneous water heaters and boiler coils that provide domestic hot water.
