Mineral Water
Mineral Water is water that contains minerals or other dissolved substances that alter its taste or give it a therapeutic value. Salts, sulfur compounds and gases are among the substances that can be dissolved in water. Mineral water can be prepared or can be produced naturally. Traditionally, mineral water was used or consumed directly from its source, which was commonly known as taking the waters or taking the cure, and such sites were referred to as spas, baths or wells. Spa was used when water was consumed and used in baths, baths when water was not widely consumed, and well when water was not generally used in baths. Frequently an active tourist center would grow around a site of mineral waters (even in ancient times, see Bath). Such tourist developments resulted in spa towns and hydrophonic hotels (usually abbreviated as Hydros). In modern times, it is much more common for mineral waters to be bottled in the source and distributed for consumption. Traveling to mineral wate
