The packaged water industry uses groundwater as its main source of high-quality, refreshing water. Groundwater is a natural resource that is continuously replenished through the hydrological cycle, the constant movement of water between the sky, land and underground reservoirs.
Rain and snow soak into the soil, percolate through porous earth and collect as groundwater, which is then drawn up through boreholes for bottling.
Regulation
How is drinking water
regulated in Australia?
Packaged water sold in Australia must comply with strict safety and quality requirements under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, administered by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), to ensure it is safe to drink and accurately labelled. These requirements cover composition, treatment processes and labelling standards.
Companies often align with the Australian Bottled Water Institute (ABWI) Code of Practice for additional quality control, which is widely recognised.
