WHAT IS SPRING WATER?

 

SPRING WATER, MINERAL WATER

A spring is a point where groundwater flows out of the ground, and is thus where the aquifer surface meets the ground surface. Depending on how constant the source of the water is - rainfall or snowmelt that infiltrates the earth - springs can be ephemeral (intermittent), perennial (continuous) or artesian. When they leave the ground they may form pools or streams.

Minerals become dissolved in the water as it moves through the underground rocks. This gives the water flavour, and even carbon dioxide bubbles, depending on the nature of the geology. This is why spring water is often bottled and sold as mineral water, although the term is often the subject of deceptive advertising.
