Many scientific studies show that water in the Alps and Nordic countries are not as goood and healthy as water in Marseille for instance...
Alps, iceberg, mountains, it is just marketing....
*in France, because Nordic countries have entire lakes of drinkable water.
Yet in average, mountains are probably hosts of the best water springs. Annecy has also a "drinkable lake" and the city use it for its tap water. Massif Centrale in the case of France is also a giant water tank.
It's definitely the same in Norway and co.
But saying that mediterranean water is not good: no. This article -in french- is suprising but true...for France only.

London's water tastes quite chalky as it comes from a chalk aquifer. Some parts of London also receive their water from desalination.
London has water high in mineral content or hard water, however it's a question of personal taste and I can't say I have ever noticed a specific chalk taste.
In terms of hard and soft water in Britain, the North and South West is mainly soft water and the South (with the exception of Cornwall) and East Anglia are hard water areas. The Midland and parts of North East England and Wales (with the exception of the coastal areas which are soft water) are more medium rather than hard or soft water areas. Scotland and most of Northern Ireland are mainly soft water areas. Whilst bottled water can just be glamourised tap water or indeed may even be worse than normal tap water.
As for the desallination plant it's part of Thames Waters plans in case of drought, and can supply a million people with drinking water, other major investments include the expansion of the Thames Water Ring Main (TWRM), increased water storage capacity including a new facility at St John's Wood and the new £4.2 Billion Thames Tideway Tunnel.
The world's largest floating solar farm powered up on a lake just outside London at the Queen Elizabeth II reservoir near Heathrow. It contains 23,000 panels, which will power a water treatment plant that provides clean drinking water to 10 million people across England.
Most tap water in Europe is safe to drink, but its taste varies from city to city.
A good bottled water is Evian, while I don't trust Perrier, especially after its soap scandal of a couple of decades ago.
I would never drink water from lakes, as all of it is contaminated with acid rain. Worst of all is Norwegian water, which is contaminated, not only by acid rain, but also by radioactive substances after the Chernobyl incident (which sent radioactive clouds over Norway). As a result of that, there were many disability births in that country. And the fertility level in Norway has declined to its lowest level in 2016. What else is to blame, if not their poisoned water?

Well, my post most certainly wasn't intended as a troll post. Are you doubting the effects on human health of the Chernobyl incident? Then I suggest you read the following report :
It's 184 pages, so you probably won't have time to read it all. However the report states (in 2006) that the worst is still to come. I allow myself to cite two paragraphs from it, to give you an idea what it is about :
--- Begin of citation ---
A more objective point of view was well-expressed by the UN General
Secretary, Kofi Annan: "…the exact number of victims may never be known,
but 3 million children require treatment and…many will die prematurely…Not
until 2016, at the earliest, will be known the full number of those likely to
develop serious medical conditions…because of delayed reactions to radiation
exposure…many will die prematurely... ".
Radioactive fall-out from Chernobyl clouds touched many territories, where
more than three billion people live. More than 50% of these territories across
13 European countries were dangerously contaminated by radionuclides from
Chernobyl (and in 8 further countries - more than 30% of their territories). It
will be the fate of many future generations to suffer the echoes of Chernobyl
in these countries according to inexorable statistical and biological laws.
--- End of citation ---
I bolded the last part.
Some lighter reading about radioactive reindeer roaming Norway :
Or maybe you are doubting that deformed babies were born in Norway after Chernobyl? Or that involuntary childlessness is increasing in Norway? The statistics on this can easily be found on the internet. It is common knowledge.
Did you know that Norway's government legally abducts children from immigrant workers and hands then over to childless Norwegian couples? Why would they do that, if they aren't despairing? Do you remember the protests against this practice in 2016 in all major European cities?
This inhumane practice has caused undescribable sorrow among the parents of those children. For the children themselves, it is a torture that they are no longer allowed to speak their native language.
And all this is ultimately caused by Chernobyl. There is no doubt about it.
But what about the water, you may ask. Norwegian water has been praised by several people in this thread. But have they analysed the water? Have they stayed long enough in Norway to become impotent and infertile? Do they accept explanations like "too much workouts at the gym" for the infecundity? Or is it more likely that Norwegians consume some substance in their diet, which is not consumed in other countries? So, either the Norwegians graze on lichen and fungi, like their reindeer do, or they get intoxicated by their drinking water.
Of course the Norwegian government won't tell the citizens to stop drinking water, since that would cause an unsolvable logistics problem.
This is beyond stupid and C-D's Europe forum is not the right place for moronic conspiracy theories.
