where do bottled water come from?

Answer 1

"Bottlers use standard identifiers, prescribed by FDA regulations, to describe their water, but the meanings may be different than you expect.These terms refer to both the geological sources of the water and the treatment methods applied to the water.The terms don't necessarily describe the geographic location of the source or determine its quality.

For instance,“spring water” can be collected at the point where water flows naturally to the earth's surface or from a borehole that taps into the underground source. Other terms used on the label about the source, such as “glacier water” or “mountain water,” are not regulated standards of identity and may not indicate that the water is necessarily from a pristine area. Likewise, the term,“purified,” refers to processes that remove chemicals and pathogens.“Purified water” is not necessarily free of microbes – though it may be.

Some bottled water comes from surface water sources.This water typically comes from a public water system and receives additional treatment, such as filtration and disinfection, before it is bottled."

Ok! Depends on what bottled water you are talking about.. Some of it actually DOES come from "the mountains". Other companies will just purify the tap water. One example of a water which comes from the mountains is Evian!

Answer 5

OK, this is a trick question right? Just in case it is not, I think the water comes out of a tap even though they often like to advertise that it comes from some distant glacier or a fresh mountain spring. In reality, Earth's water has been recycled so many times, use your imagination as to where it came from...yuck!

Answer 6

Melted ice from the icebergs in Greenland. (Ha! Ha!)

Bottled water is drinking water packaged in bottles for individual consumption and retail sale.

The water used can be spring water, well water, purified water, etc. Many countries, particularly developed countries, regulate the quality of bottled water through government standards, typically used to ensure that water quality is safe and labels accurately reflect bottle contents. In many developing countries, however, such standards rarely exist, or are inconsistently applied.

depends on the company. Aquafina and Disani(sp?) both purify tap water. Deer Park comes from a river,evian comes from spring water in the alps, there are more but I can't think of them.
