Introduction
Any kind of source water contains various minerals, such as salts and sulfur compounds. Today, it is far more common for mineral water to be bottled at the source for distributed Consumption. There are more than 4,000 brands of mineral water commercially available worldwide.
The source water is commonly divided in to two terms,(i.e. Hard water and soft water).The more Calcium and Magnesium ions that are dissolved in water, the harder it is and this is said to be Hard water. Water with few dissolved Calcium and Magnesium ions is described as being soft water.
In the European Union, bottled water may be called mineral water when it is bottled at the source and has undergone no or minimal treatment.
Bottled drinking water
Bottled water is drinking water (e.g. Processed Well water, distilled water, mineral water, or spring water) packaged in plastic or glass water bottles. Bottled water may be carbonated or not.
Bottling water began in the United Kingdom with the first water bottling at the Holy Well in 1621. The demand for bottled water was fueled in large part by the resurgence in spa-going and water therapy among Europeans and American colonists in the 17th and 18th centuries. The first commercially distributed water in America was bottled and sold by Jackson’s Spa in Boston in 1767.
