What is the best-rated bottled water?

Bottled water comes in a number of varieties, including artesian, distilled, mineral, public water source, purified, sparkling and spring. Each of these types come from different sources and contain varying levels of minerals. When looking to purchase bottled water, drinkers should consider the source from which the water has been extracted and the material of the drinking container.
