Less than one percent of the earth’s total water mass is available for human consumption. 97.5% of the total water mass is ocean water and is not fit for us to drink. Of the remaining 2.5%, two thirds is glacier ice. Water doesn’t respect national boundaries; in fact its distribution on earth is very uneven. 9 countries in the world hold upwards of 60% of this precious resource. In regions of the world experiencing rapid population growth, the demands for drinking water are simply not being met. Based of fresh water sources per capita, 25% of the world’s population lives beneath acceptable conditions and projections for the future are concerning. Aquagold International understands these facts and believes in the careful management of this life essential resource to ensure sustainable long term-supply.

The water is considered to be very responsive to current taste trends and meets all government quality standards, including those of the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA’s standard for Total Dissolved Solids for spring water is 500 mg/L, however, the ideal level for the most acceptable taste to the consumer is between 100-200 mg/L. The spring water has a TDS of 170 mg/L for the Chateauguay source and 160 mg/L for the Bell Falls, Quebec source. Both sources of the water are confirmed to be reliable to produce natural spring water with consistency for a virtually indefinite period of time.
