If it is not labeled natural, it may have undergone processing, such as addition of minerals. Mineral- contains dissolved minerals. All water has some minerals unless it is distilled. Distilled- processed and free from nearly all minerals Artesian well water- water that is forced to the surface from an aquifer by pressurized pipes. Naturally Carbonated- means the water was effervescent
