Natural mineral water is water originating in an underground water table or deposit, which emerges from a spring tapped at one or more natural or bore exits. It must come from an officially recognised spring, be microbiologically wholesome and be naturally free from pollution and parasitic, pathogenic and other harmful micro- organisms.

Water must be bottled at source, i.e. must not be transported in containers other than those authorised for distribution to the ultimate consumer (not tankered – unless certain exemptions apply).

Natural mineral water is characterised by its chemical and microbiological composition, which distinguishes it from drinking water, and may not be treated in any way that alters these properties. The composition, temperature and other essential characteristics must remain stable. Natural mineral water cannot be polluted in any way (chemical or microbiological).

What is spring water?

A water can only be labelled with the description “spring water” if it originates in an underground water source, is bottled at source and satisfies most of the exploitation conditions, microbiological criteria and some of the labelling requirements that apply to natural mineral water. Spring water must also comply with limits laid above for physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. Unlike natural mineral water spring water does not need to demonstrate a stable composition.

What is bottled drinking water?

Bottled drinking water means drinking water which is bottled, and is neither spring water or natural mineral water. It can come from a variety of sources, including municipal supplies.

What does the word “spring” mean?

For natural mineral water and spring water, a spring is the access to (or point of discharge from) an aquifer or water deposit. Ponds, wells and adits (i.e. horizontal collecting galleries used to increase well yield) are not covered by the term ‘spring’.

How do spring and source differ?

The term source is often applied in reference to natural mineral water. ‘Source’ is not defined within these regulations but can be considered as being synonymous with ‘spring’

What is a borehole/bore exit?

A borehole is an artificially produced exit for water emerging from a source originating in an underground water table or deposit.

Natural mineral waters from sources in England

Before water can be officially recognised as natural mineral water, certain information about the source and the water itself must be supplied to the relevant authority. This includes a hydrogeological description of the source, the physical and chemical characteristics of the water, microbiological analyses and analyses for toxic substances. Additionally it must be demonstrated that the water is free from pollution and that the composition, temperature and other essential characteristics of the water remain stable. To establish stability, it is necessary to collect data over a sufficiently long period to demonstrate the extent to which the composition varies. The conditions that are attached to the exploitation of natural mineral waters are designed to ensure that the physical and chemical characteristics, safety and microbiological purity of the water at source maintain unchanged during exploitation. Routine quality control is the responsibility of the exploiter, but periodic checks should be made by the recognition authority.

Every day the average adult loses 1.25 litres of fluid via urine, 0.5 litres via sweat, 0.5 litres via breath and 100ml via faeces, so to stay healthy we need to replace the fluid that we lose. This can be done by drinking 6-8 glasses of fluid each day in addition to the water we consume in food, such as fruit and vegetables. Recommended intake will vary with environment, for example, when water loss is increased by heat, exercise or humidity intake must compensate. A variety of drinks, including bottled water can do this. Drinking enough fluid each day is often still not regarded as a priority any many of us may be dehydrated without realising it.

Facts

Blood
Your blood is 95% water. If you are dehydrated, the mechanisms that regulate blood pressure will not work so you may experience an increase in blood pressure.

Bones
Even your bones have a high level of water in them – about 22%.

Brain
The human brain is 75% water. When you are not properly hydrated it may be your brain that starts to feel the effects, with headaches, poor concentration and reduced memory.

Digestive system
Every day, you are likely to lose about 100ml of fluid through faeces – up to 80% of a normal stool is water. This can, of course, be a lot more if you have diarrhoea. Having marginal dehydration can mean that you develop constipation, where the stool is dry and difficult to pass. Regularly drinking 6-8 glasses of fluid a day can help avoid this happening.

Cells
Every cell in your body depends on fluid to keep it working properly. Each person is made up of between 50 and 75% water and 2/3 of this fluid is carried in the body’s cells. If there is not enough fluid in the body these cells cannot effectively do the job they are supposed to do.

Heart
Clinical studies have shown that adequate hydration may improve the way your heart works and reduce your risk of developing heart disease. Dehydration is also considered to be a risk factor in the development of DVT (deep vein thrombosis).

Kidneys
The National Kidney Research Foundation recommends that drinking two litres (6-8 glasses) of fluid a day can reduce your risk of developing urinary tract infections, kidney stones or bladder cancer.

Mouth
If you are not drinking enough, your body will not be able to produce enough saliva and you may develop a dry mouth. Dentists say that this may be a major cause of tooth decay.

Skin
The skin is the largest human organ and is made up of 70% water. When you are not drinking enough you may notice your skin feeling dry, so you reach for a moisturiser or body lotion. The best solution is to reach for a glass, however, and moisturise from the inside.

Urinary tract
We each wee about 1 1/4 litres a day when we are properly hydrated. This equates to about four visits to the loo each day for men and eight times for women. In addition to the valuable role that water plays in the body’s cells and organs, fluid also makes sure that the urinary tract remains clean and bug-free to avoid infections, such as cystitis.
