I think the taste definitely can help us know which is tap water or purified water.. I think some local packaged drinking water has a weird taste and you cann't drink more...
Once I drank fresh water falling from mountains in Tirupathi..it was really refreshing and give me instant energy..I think such water is full of minerals and is great to taste....

exactly that is mineral water. What we get on the road side/stations is simple water which is refilled in mineral water bottle. :blink:

Initially when mineral water made its entry it was copied from the swiss way of bottling water straight from the water springs, where the water is supposed to be absolutely pure.In India apparently it was done in the foothills of Himalayas and some other places where the water available had no contamination and was naturally clean..But , now one can never be sure about the source..

They even started a company with Brand name of 'GANGA'. They claimed it to filled with water from purest and natural source of Ganges in Himalayas. Later it turned out to be as ....... as Ganga water way down where people do not find it worth even a touch leave apart drink it.

I guess they did...Now one is never sure about the quality of water anywhere in India ! You know Sunil, in Switzerland there are pipes inserted into the mountain sides and have a constant flow of absolutely pure sweet water that comes straight from the springs, people just hold their hands and drink it straight from the flow...

This is true for our area also where they insert pipes at the water sources and bring it down to roadsides and villages. You can see this in every hill place, allover Himalayas. This is very common scene here.
