Artesian Water vs. Spring Water While they’re similar, artesian and spring water aren’t quite the same. They can be, but only in certain instances.  Spring water is any water that flows naturally at the land surface.  So technically, a flowing artesian well is an artesian spring. However, a regular artesian well is not a spring, as it doesn’t flow out of the earth.  Maybe a little confusing? Maybe just a little! Artesian Water Source: Artesian water comes from a well that taps into a confined aquifer, which is an underground layer of rock or soil that holds water under pressure.  How it reaches the surface: The water is forced to the surface due to the pressure within the aquifer, often without the need for a pump.  Characteristics: Artesian water is often described as having a crisp, clean taste and being naturally filtered as it travels through the layers of rock and soil.  Examples: Fiji Water is an example of a popular brand of artesian water.  Spring Water Source: Spring water originates from groundwater that reaches the surface through natural geological formations.  How it reaches the surface: Water may flow naturally from a spring due to pressure, or it may be pumped from a well that accesses the spring.  Characteristics: The taste of spring water can vary depending on the mineral content of the source, but it's often described as refreshing and crisp.  Examples: Numerous bottled water brands, like Origin, label their water as spring water.  Key Differences Pressure: Artesian water relies on the pressure within a confined aquifer, while spring water may or may not be under pressure.  Well vs. Spring: Artesian water typically comes from a well tapping into a confined aquifer, while spring water can come from a natural spring.  Flow to surface: Artesian water flows to the surface without the aid of a pump, while spring water may or may not require pumping. 

The “alkaline” in alkaline water is a reference to the pH scale, a measurement of how acidic or alkaline a substance is. 

When you consume food and drinks that contain these minerals, they distribute throughout your body and use their electrical energy to facilitate essential bodily functions.
