What is an Artesian Bottled Water?
Artesian bottled water is a naturally pure form of water extracted from an Artesian well. Many consumers favorably compare Artesian bottled water to natural spring water in terms of flavor and clarity. The main difference between the two types of water is that spring water is often mechanically pumped from an unconfined aquifer while Artesian bottled water is naturally pumped from a pressurized and confined Artesian well. An aquifer is a natural collection point for ground water, often more like a sponge than a flowing underground river. Some types of ground water are contained between layers of soft rock, which means a bottler would need to pump the water out mechanically in order to overcome the natural pull of gravity. The underground water table is not under pressure, since the material around the water does not keep it confined.
