WHAT DOES MINERAL WATER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

mineral water

Mineral water

Mineral water is water from a mineral spring that contains various minerals, such as salts and sulfur compounds. Mineral water may be effervescent due to contained gases. There are approximately 100 minerals in the mineral water. Traditionally, mineral waters were used or consumed at their spring sources, often referred to as "taking the waters" or "taking the cure," at developed cities such as spas, baths, or wells. The term spa was used for a place where the water was consumed and bathed in; bath where the water was used primarily for bathing, therapeutics, or recreation; and well where the water was to be consumed. In modern times, it is far more common for mineral water to be bottled at the source for distributed consumption. Travelling to the mineral water site for direct access to the water is now uncommon, and in many cases not possible. There are more than 3,000 brands of mineral water commercially available worldwide. In English, effervescent mineral water is often referred to as "Vichy water," which refers to water from the springs at Vichy, France.
