In the early days of the water industry, mineral water and spring water were the most popular types of bottled water. (“Some Bottled Water History“) According to the FDA, there are six different types of bottled water including spring, purified, sparkling, artesian, well, and mineral. Spring water is the water in which the water comes to surface naturally. Purified water goes through a number of processes, such as distillation. With sparkling water, carbon dioxide is added. Well water comes from a hole that is drilled into an aquifer. Lastly, we have artesian water that comes from an underground layer of rock. Bottled water sales inched up 4.2 percent in 2010 and is expected to grow another three percent in 2011.
